Cellphone towers poorly situated

Even as a T-Mobile customer it is hard for me to fathom what benefit T-Mobile and its subscribers will derive from a cell tower placed at Bon Homme Road and Paul Revere Drive. This is an extremely hilly area. The actual number of people who will use this eyesore is minuscule.

How important is it for a limited number of people, myself included, to have cell coverage for a few blocks in a residential neighborhood? Given the amount of foot and bicycle traffic in the area, do we really want to encourage drivers to be on their cellphones while driving on residential streets?

I should mention that I have pleaded with T-Mobile to provide better cell coverage at Calabasas High School where their current coverage is spotty at best. My daughter usually has to borrow a Sprint or AT&T phone to call home for a ride.

If the city is going to authorize cell sites to benefit a relative few, why not make it a condition of access to the limited site that the carrier provides coverage at the high school where there is truly a benefit to the community at large in an area already covered with multiple utility poles?
