City of Rochester: No cell tower at 144 Meaderboro Road

Please deny T-Mobile's proposal to place a cell tower overlooking the historic Kimball and Quaker cemeteries and too close to neighboring homes. Preserve the agricultural, scenic, and historic character of the Meaderboro Road area.

Why is this important?

The Meaderboro Road community is firmly united against a cell tower at this location. We already gathered over 200 signatures against AT&T's proposal of a tower at the same location in 2014. After being denied, AT&T walked away from their application because they realized they were in the wrong. Since then, another home has been built extremely close to the proposed location, homeowners in the neighborhood lost money on the sale of their home due to the possibility of T-Mobile's proposal, and eleven other locations in the area have been identified as possible alternatives, many of them much farther away from neighbors and less visible.
The Meaderboro Road area is one of the most beautiful parts of Rochester, and we feel it should be kept that way. There are other locations that would not harm the scenic or historic nature of the road and would not financially harm the residents of the road.
