A 50-foot Cell Tower in our backyards?

T-Mobile has requested a permit from the city of San Carlos to build a 50-foot cell tower on the CalWater lot at 882 Heather Drive, and the city is currently recommending that the tower be approved!

This location is in a densely residential area (map), and would be only a few feet from surrounding homes. The proposed tower will also be highly visible from a wide area, blocking views of the bay and causing sharp declines in home values.


To show how tall and imposing this tower will be, we raised balloons 50' in the air over the location and took pictures:

The height and location will make this tower highly visible from a wide area, blocking views of the bay and causing sharp declines in home values. Here is a simulated before & after photo, based on the balloon experiment:

Recent tests by multiple residents have shown that this area already has good signal access from T-Mobile phones, proving that this tower is not necessary and that T-Mobile's claims of poor coverage are exaggerated.


Help preserve our neighborhoods and tell the city of San Carlos that this tower is not acceptible!
