Temporary T-Mobile cell tower near Pilgrim Baptist Church
Summary
A 76-foot monopole with temporary cell antennas goes up at 732 Central Avenue West for one year, after a nearby tower was decommissioned and left a coverage gap in Frogtown and Summit-University — including E911 service. One neighbor raised health, property value, and visual concerns; the council sided with restoring connectivity.
