Crown Castle is working with city planning staff "to find a way to fulfill the board’s recommendation to vault equipment" as it looks to lease new cell towers to Verizon in Palo Alto, CA. The city commission "is no longer convinced that when Verizon says it can’t place the equipment underground and be in compliance with the city’s noise ordinance and other rules, it is being truthful." Crown Castle representative Sharon James is quoted in the article stating, "We are actively working with the City of Palo Alto on a positive solution."
