They also raised the issue of public safety if any of the towers collapse. <BR/><BR/>Lake Cedar Group said the radio frequency levels would decrease if the devices were consolidated on a single tower and offered testimony from a structural engineer that tower collapse is unlikely. If a tower did collapse, the engineer said damage would be limited to property owned by Lake Cedar."<BR/><BR/>Their fear of radiation simply isn't supported by the facts and the amount of radiation is lower than the status quo.<BR/><BR/>It is another example of fear and NIMBY at its worst in the zoning process.Andrew Oh-Willekehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02537151821869153861noreply@blogger.com
