Verizon proposes new cell antennas for downtown Bethesda
Verizon Wireless is proposing to erect new wireless communication antennas atop the Montgomery County-owned Woodmont Corner Public Parking Garage 11 at 7730 Woodmont Avenue in downtown Bethesda. The company intends to place antennas and related equipment "at a centerline height of 58 feet" onto the structure.
How does Janis feel about this?
ReplyDeleteI know it’s great to have reliable and fast cellular service, but it’s too bad that cellular providers aren’t required to place their antennas so they blend in more with the architecture. So many buildings seem to have large electronic saddlebags strapped along their parapet walls. I much prefer a taller, but less obtrusive vertical antenna mast, with required cellular equipment on the top. Or at least placed within penthouse spaces, screened with a radio wave transparent scrim.
