The Town sites include Village Theatre/Town Meeting Hall (233/201 Front Street), Danville Community Center and Library (420 Front Street), Oak Hill Park Community Center (3005 Stone Valley Road), Town Service Center, (1000 Sherburne Hills Road), Veterans Memorial Building (400 Hartz Avenue), and Town Offices (500 La Gonda Way). 1.1. PLAN DEVELOPMENT PROCESS The Plan was developed primarily based on an assessment of the Town’s existing traffic signal communications infrastructure. The development of the plan process started with the overall vision followed by the needs and gaps in existing system, resulting in the development of proposed fiber communication network to satisfy the needs and close the gaps. Figure 1 provides and illustrates of this process. Figure 1: Plan Development Process 1.2. WHY FIBER OPTICS? As the name suggests, fiber optic technology uses pulses of light to carry data along strands of glass or plastic. Fiber optics can transfer more data at higher throughput over longer distances than copper wire. Fiber optical communications has become the communications medium of choice for nearly all types of agencies and carriers. Over many years of consistent reliability, fiber optics have become the predominant choice for Ethernet backbone infrastructure, high-speed internet services, and general data networking. This section presents a high-level description of what is “fiber optics” and why it is the preferred communications medium of choice.
