Is this going to be as massive as the one proposed for Maplewood? Mr. Rosner, do you know anything about this?   lseltzer Citizen Username: Lseltzer Post Number: 1218 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Saturday, November 16, 2002 - 9:59 pm:        Good spot for one. Nice and high up. We might lose the dead spots in the S's finally.   mrosner Citizen Username: Mrosner Post Number: 120 Registered: 4-2002 Posted on Monday, November 18, 2002 - 10:00 am:        The cell tower would be on the water tower that is way over by the reservation in N. Newstead. I do not think it is as massive as the one being proposed in Maplewood. When the bids come in we will discuss it at the meeting. By the way, it has been discussed at meetings several times over the past year and this would seem to be the least obtrusive location. I guess it is hard for us to have it both ways. A lot of us use cell phones, but at the same time we don't want a cell towers all over the place. This one location would seem to be a fix for most of the dead spots in S. Orange. I would certainly listen to other suggestions, but just remember that the location is best if we pick a high elevation.   chasm Citizen Username: Chasm Post Number: 76 Registered: 6-2001 Posted on Thursday, December 12, 2002 - 9:46 pm:        Sounds like a good plan. Interesting to see that the SO cell tower situation isn't causing as much craziness as the MPLWD proposal. What is the latest news?   Shaun McCormack Citizen Username: News_record Post Number: 1 Registered: 11-2002 Posted on Friday, December 13, 2002 - 3:45 pm:        is this a tower or an antenna?   mrosner Citizen Username: Mrosner Post Number: 131 Registered: 4-2002 Posted on Sunday, December 15, 2002 - 4:44 pm:        It is more like an antenna, but I think it is still referred to as a cell tower. We are waiting for proposals and when those come in, we will know the size, etc.
