Residents oppose Bell Tower THE HERALD OUTLOOK Saturday April 1M9- Page The worst that could happen with a proposed 180foot Belt com tower in Hornby is that it would fall across a busy Regional road according to a Bell spokesman If it falls precisely south it may cross Steeles Avenue said Peter manager of Bell Cellular Network Provisioning Mr was speaking to town councillors at a Town of Halton Hills general committee meeting Monday night Bell Cellular was asked by the town to consider alternate sites to a quarter of an acre of land north of Steeles Avenue and east of the Sixth Line But he said towers are unlikely to fall If they do they collapse on themselves herald The Bell Cellular tower is pro posed to complete a gnd of hand off zones linking cellular phone service along the Highway cor ridor Hills and a site east in Peel and a Milton site are being considered as part of the cellular chain Handoff is the term used to describe tansmission as it changes from one tower to another as a vehicle travels Mr says the spot at Hornby is exactly what Bell needs to complete its pattern of handoff points Bell met with Halton Hills cillors Monday to discuss the pro posed tower in Hornby At that time Mayor Russ Miller requested the company consider other loca tions Mr said he thought Mon days meeting would be to resolve any landscaping demands the town had for a property he thought was approved You come back to town and say this is the site youve picked and this is the one you want said Mayor Miller He asked if Bell Cellular had con sidered the Hornby Ball Park Mr replied that it was outside the search area He said alternative to the Hornby site would be to locate the tower further west on the same parcel of land Otherwise the coverage on the may suffer slightly he said Mr Linke added that to pur chase other parcels of land in the area would be too expensive Aw come on Give us a break said John speaking from the audience The crowd grew louder in the town chamber after Mayor Miller suggested Bell Cellular meet with local Hornby residents to discuss their preferences for a tower location Why dont you talk to us as the mayor said asked Mr who lives across the road from the proposed tower site Complaints from councillors regarding the Hornby Bell location included distraction from the flashing red light of a commumca tions tower and spoilage of the rain of a largely rural area Councillor Joe Hewitt said Bell Cellular has made a vague at tempt at finding alternative loca As to the locating in the Bell Canada site and your reference to the flashing light on Avenue I dont see how that would make a big difference said Mr I take a little bit of an exception to the vague attempt remark he said We want to maintain good rela tions with everyone we deal with But Mayor Miller Mr Linke and Bell Cellular back to the residents to hold a public meeting a request Mr said was unusual He added that politicians usually represent their constituents without public meetings to make decisions Im not prepared to make a decision that is contrary to the peo ple I represent said Mayor MiHer Town councillors voted in favor of the mayors recommendation to hold a public meeting with Hornby residents who live near the pro posed tower site At Mr request there will be several local councillors present at a meeting to be ed by the town For All Your Fine China Silver
