From the Franklin Square/Elmont Herald:
“Whalen also said that Omnipoint/T-Mobile considered alternate sites around West Hempstead and Franklin Square. The Little League field on Ocean Avenue in West Hempstead; Wesley United Methodist Church on Fenworth Boulevard in Franklin Square; Echo Park in West Hempstead; and Halls Pond Park on the corner of Ocean Avenue and Hempstead Avenue in West Hempstead were all considered. Whalen said that both Echo Park and Halls Pond Park were "doable architecturally," but Omnipoint/T-Mobile attorney Keith Brown said the Franklin Bridge Centre was selected because it was the "least intrusive site."
"Least intrusive?" To whom?
Gee. Omnipoint/T-Mobile doesn't even know the names of the streets where our parks and ballfields are located. You expect them to know where to build a cell phone tower?
Michael Uhl will tell Omnipoint/T-Mobile where to put it!
“Nowhere in our residential communities, “ declared Michael Uhl. “No way. No how!”
As your County Legislator, Michael Uhl will fight to keep intrusive and unsightly cell phone towers out of our backyards, and out of our front yards.
“This is a quality of life issue,” insisted Uhl. “Residents should have an absolute right, federal pre-emption notwithstanding, to maintain control over their property values, their community’s environment, and their health. We are surrounded by cell towers, some poorly disguised as trees, others as flagpoles, and still a few more, right out there, staring us in the face. Enough! We’re not going to let the cell phone industry dump another tower in our towns.”
Where does Vincent Muscarella stand on the Franklin Square cell tower?
"I believe he said he'd send a letter," laughed Uhl. "I know we can do more than that!"
Had enough of the cell phone towers? Michael Uhl has.
On November 6th, send Michael Uhl to the Nassau County Legislature.
