City of Dallas to Host Public Meetings on Interactive Digital Kiosks

The City of Dallas Department of Public Works is seeking input from residents on an initiative to modernize the City’s communication kiosks with digital elements that provide an interactive platform to raise awareness of local businesses and events, encourage community engagement, and enhance neighborhood safety. 

This proposal would allow for the installation of interactive digital kiosks in commercial, mixed-use, retail, and entertainment areas within the City’s right-of-way in high pedestrian traffic areas. 

The kiosks would be equipped with SmartCity technologies and a touchscreen display, providing the community and potential advertisers with an environmentally friendly and dynamic method to share important information including public service announcements, safety alerts, public transit schedules, promotion of local businesses, job opportunities, social services, upcoming cultural events, and community engagement opportunities. The kiosks will offer free wi-fi allowing public connectivity. 

The City of Dallas Department of Public Works is hosting two community meetings, one virtual and one in-person meeting to discuss the full proposal and receive community feedback.  

The Webex virtual meeting will be hosted on Monday, April 22, 2024, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Attendees will be able to ask questions during the Q&A section. Speakers and questions will be asked to limit their time to under one minute.
