T-Mobile is planning on installing a 12-bank cell phone tower/antenna on top of the storage facility at 658 Venice Blvd, just east of Abbot Kinney.
This page was created to help manage the information we have so far on the issue and supply you with links to research and previous cases. Even though most people are concerned about health issues, it is our undestanding that medical and scientific research is rejected at City hearings. If you have any information about how we can block the installation of these towers, please come to the meeting on Thursday or conact me. Apologies for typos.
City Hearing Thursday November 1, 2007 at 9:30 AM:
