Public consultation ongoing for proposed north Nanaimo cell tower
NANAIMO —A proposal to deal with a substantial cell dead zone in north Nanaimo’s Hammond Bay area is in the midst of a public consultation period.
Initiated by TELUS in conjunction with Rogers, an information package was mailed to all residents and businesses within 189 meters (three times the height of the proposed 63-metre lattice tower)
The tower is proposed on Regional District of Nanaimo property at the Greater Nanaimo Pollution Control Centre located at 4600 Hammond Bay Rd.
“The tower, if constructed, will provide access to dependable high-speed voice and data services in the Hammond Bay area,” reads the public notification letter to residents in the immediate vicinity.
