Community Pushes Back Against Proposed AT&T Cell Tower Near Bike Path

In a recent town hall meeting, residents of La Jolla voiced strong opposition to AT&T's proposal to install a 30-foot cell tower along a beloved bike path. Concerns about the safety of cell tower radiation, proximity to homes, and potential impacts on local parks and schools were at the forefront of community discourse. Without representatives present to address these worries, AT&T ultimately chose to withdraw its application for the tower. The proposed facility would have been accompanied by a 50-foot equipment area, including a diesel generator, and its location would have been alarmingly close to a senior care facility and preschool, prompting residents to demand a safer environment.
