T-Mobile USA wants to increase the height of an existing cell phone tower at 2216 Sepulveda Blvd and install a new 50-foot cell phone tower with 12 antennas next to
a children day care center on Eriel Avenue (the old AAA Club parking lot).
The T-Mobile cell phone website indicates there is adequate coverage in the already in the two areas.
The City of Torrance Telecommunications Committee held a second meeting this morning on the two applications and continued the items to allow additional time for the City of Torrance to engage an outside technical consultant to present information not provided by T-Mobile. T-Mobile did not show that higher priority locations were either not available or are not feasible; establishment of a facility on a new false tree is necessary to provide service and lack of such a facility would result in a prohibition of service.
Again this morning a number of residents spoke against the cell phone tower in the proposed location and commented about the article in the Daily Breeze where T-Mobile indicated "they are not looking to move the tower one inch". In fact, the residents have suggested alternate locations in the area but to no avail.
