Update from Councillor Don Iveson
Don Iveson attended the March GCL Executive meeting and brought updates on two issues affecting our community:
1) Telus Cell Phone Tower: As of March 13, Telus has not yet submitted its final application to the City. If it does, the City will decline to comment on it. Industry Canada has the final say in approval but the City is working to have more influence over the process. The city will have a report on the issue in the next couple of months.
2) New LRT stop along 111th Street and 40th Avenue: Iveson is checking to see if another stop is feasible. The City's transportation committee is expected to report back May 8th. If a new stop becomes a possiblity, GCL will be surveying its members and community residents to see if they support the idea and share the results with Councillor Iveson.
For more information on these topics,
Telus Cell Phone Tower
at Greenfield Baptist Church.
A group of concerned residents has been lobbying stakeholders and government to try to stop the building of the cell phone tower. You can email nogreenfieldtower@gmail.com to be added to their mailing list.
GCL has now heard that Dayspring Church
has also signed a contract for a cell phone tower with Rogers Communications - though no application has been made to the city yet.
The GCL Executive is writing all stakeholders to express our frustration with the lack of community consultation during the cell phone tower application process and to share the concerns that have been expressed to us by some of our residents.
