More 3-story-tall 5G cellular towers are planned for our community! Boldyn Networks recently submitted an application for the tower at 771 Greenwich Street (at the southeast corner of Greenwich and Bethune streets, directly adjacent to the building at 99 Bank Street). This location is within the Greenwich Village Historic District.
Want to stop it? This tower is currently undergoing a “Section 106 review” to determine if it will have a negative impact on the surrounding historic district. You can help. Click below and send a comment to the review today! (There’s a separate review for each 5G tower, so you need to send a separate comment for each tower.)
The deadline for comments on the 771 Greenwich Street tower is December 26. The public can submit comments by sending an email to:
citybridgelink5g@ebiconsulting.com
Village Preservation has suggestions for comments along with an optional form you can use if you wish (the form needs to be sent to the same citybridgelink5g@ebiconsulting.com address):
https://www.villagepreservation.org/oppose-a-5g-tower-at-771-greenwich-street-99-bank-street/
In addition to the language suggested by Village Preservation, I’d urge that you include a sentence stating that these towers should not be allowed anywhere within or adjoining our historic districts.
Boldyn has also just submitted an application for the tower at 100 Horatio Street. This is a tower we’re particularly concerned about; stay tuned for more information.
