Residents protest approval of Verizon equipment
Interim Planning Director in Palo Alto, CA, Jonathan Lait, approved Crown Castle/Verizon Wireless to install five new wireless communications facilities. Lait rejected two of the seven nodes that Crown Castle had proposed. However, a group of Palo Alto residents are "sounding off against" the decision. Now, the director's decision is facing two appeals. One from the citizens group United Neighbors, which is protesting Lait's approval of five wireless equipment "nodes," and another from Crown Castle, which is objecting to Lait's denial of the other two nodes in the application.
