Thank-you for the strong support to challenge the MTS plan to erect a 60 ft cell tower at 413 Niagara less than 15 ft from the next home. We still need you. Please consider sending an email of concerns and questions on or before June 8 to Evolve the company acting on behalf of MTS. Email stopmtscelltower@gmail.com to get more info.
1. Potential health effects: no conclusive evidence either way on the long term effects to the radiation. Safety code 6 can be amended at any time which potentially might be too late.
2. Reduced property value: cell towers de-value neighbourhoods. Preconceived notions on living near one will bring the property value down.
3. Visual pollution: no one wants to see a 60 ft structure amongst the trees. It doesn't fit with the style of the homes around it.
4. A growing tower: 60 ft might not be enough. Telecommunication towers can grow over time.
5. Other locations: MTS have investigated other non residential spots but preffer this one.
6. Last chance: it is easier to stop a tower from going up than for it to be removed.
We, the undersigned, oppose the current proposed location of a cell tower at 413 Niagara Street in Winnipeg Manitoba.
No cell towers should be placed or erected near homes. The current proposed location is only a few feet away from the nearest residence.
This location contravenes the City of Winnipeg’s own antenna siting policy, which advises that a new antenna should be a minimum of three times the height of the antenna away from residential areas.
