We are a group of concerned Piedmont residents (see list of names below) endorsing this petition.
Do you want your kids to play right next to cell phone towers? Are you concerned with the depreciation of your property value of up to 20% due to cell towers near our homes and schools? Four cell phone towers are being installed in Piedmont, and independently funded research shows there is a health risk:
Because of this, many reputable organizations, such as the California Medical Association, American Academy of Pediatrics, American Academy of Environmental Medicine, International Association of Fire Fighters, and Association of Real Estate Agents, have issued statements of the risks to health and property values.
While 4 of the 9 proposed cell towers are approved, the telecommunication company Crown Castle has filed a lawsuit to have all 9 approved; this would lay the ground work for more cell towers in the future (their goal is to have up to 68 cell tower antennas in Piedmont).
The City of Hillsborough's residents just succeeded in having all 16 Crown Castle cell towers denied--their city is the same size as Piedmont (about 11,500 residents) and they accomplished this with the help of a petition signed by over 1400 residents. While this is the first step of their process, it shows the power of citizen involvement. We need to follow their lead!
We urge you to sign this petition so your voice can be heard. Please sign your full first and last name in order to be counted. We plan to present this petition to Piedmont City Council and request that they take the following actions:
1. Vigorously fight the Crown Castle lawsuit.
2. Revise our City Code's policy on wireless infrastructure to include protections that other prepared California cities (such as Davis, CA, Palos Verdes, CA and Burbank, CA) have adopted. We have included their protections in the petition.
We are a concerned group of Piedmont residents, including two experts in wireless technology, who have investigated this matter extensively to create the city code revisions in this petition. Thank you for your support in taking steps to protect our city and its citizens, especially our children.
