Are these really your bluffs? Probably not. Since you live in New York, or is it California? You've been pretty busy blogging the last few weeks. "

" The answer to your last question is that they don't. The FCC has determined that there is no risk to exposure to cell towers. Municipalities aren't allowed to even consider the health effects of these towers in their decision. The answer to your first question is that, yes, they have to provide all necessary drawings and technical information about the tower before it can operate. "

" Where is the law that states that we have to ruin our skyline so that US-Cellular can earn a profit? Who cares about the business model of T-Mobile/Verizon/US Cellular? In any case, is US Cellular going to demonstrate how they plan on complying with all the rules and regulations of the FCC before construction? How do they plan on keeping workers and the general public from being over exposed to RF radiation? "

" To: Still yet
I live out in that area and have no problem with the cell tower. The footprint for the cell tower and equipment building will be very small, so giving up any space is really not an issue. "

" That's it!! We should put tall light posts along the top of all bluffs. They will illuminate the bluffs so we can see them at night, they'll keep all the planes safe from hitting the bluffs and they can act as cell towers. It's perfect! "

" Someone had to bring that up. If a pilot fails to maintain positive control of his altitude, he will crash. Even in the day time. Might have? Well, there is much work to be done to prevent all the "might haves" that we can dredge up. "

" It wasn't that long ago a medical helicopter crashed into a bluff. A cell tower with a light might have prevented that. "

" Those hill warnings lights are a good thing. You don't see too many in Kansas, but Kentucky is lit up like a Christmas tree. Don't know how we've done without for so long. 'Course it'd be a bad thing if an ocean liner were to take a wrong turn up the river and hit French Island too. "

" When I typed my comment I knew you would have trouble understanding. What I meant was the tower not only serves as a cell tower, it also serves as a warning light for the hill. I am not aware of any airliners hitting this bluff, but it would be horrible if one did. The light can help prevent that. I can draw a picture if you would like. "

" You know, a few weeks ago there was discussion about a giant taco built outside of the Alamo, just across from Paul Bunyon's house. I say, since this one is so close to Coulee Golf Bowl they should disguise this as a giant nine iron. If they add two they could do a pitching wedge for the other tower. If lights are required they could house them in giant white balls. Problem solved. "

" This is much much better then having them up on the bluff in the woods with a big bad blinking light on them. This way everyone can see them up close, and we can see the equipment shed that is with it. As I have said before, the towers should be on the bluff, the lights make the bluff safer. Duh. "
