Stop the cell tower at the transfer station. This 150 foot tower will be visible to a large amount of residents, decreasing home values. This is a densely populated area, also close to an elementary school, a nursery school and Kiwanis Park. Cell towers emit large amounts of radiation, endangering the health of our children and surrounding residents. Studies have shown that the effect of radiation from cell towers on people living and/or working within close proximity to a cell tower may be very detrimental to their health. This area of town already has adequate cell service and this tower will not solve the problem of servicing the west and north sections of town.

Seeing 250 names on this list gives me hope that our neighborhood will stay safe for our children. I look at my own home and worry about what this tower would do to our property values and our health. We are building real momentum against this unnecessary project.

My own kids play at Kiwanis Park and I refuse to let this tower loom over them while they grow up. The momentum is building as we head toward our next goal but we need a final push from everyone to keep this in the public eye. Please text this link to a few neighbors who care just as much about our backyard as we do.

My kids play at Kiwanis Park every weekend and the thought of this tower looming over them keeps me up at night. We are nearing the first hundred signatures and I need everyone to post the link on their social media to help us hit that target today.

A cell tower near a school is a horrendous idea and I strongly object. It's endangering the welfare of my children who attend the school near where it would be placed. In addition, it doesn't even increase cell phone service in areas that don't have any.

No Cell tower should be erected in such close proximity to a school. This makes NO sense! Thanks

Not a good location being close to schools and hoyt farm . Jury is still out on radiation effects.

Not at the transfer station! There are no cell phone problems in Hoyt Farm. The tower should be in North or West where the residents need better service.

This is a heavily populated area with various schools and homes. Far to many property values will be effected for little to no gain. If these talks continue, surely you do not care about our values, safety and investments.

We strongly oppose the cell tower at this location and feel it is not necessary as cell reception is fine in this area.
