Dear editor:

Recently, it was announced by Signum Wireless that an 18-metre telecommunication tower is planned for the entrance to Nelson Park on Riccardo Street

There will be a public information meeting on Aug. 13 between 6 and 8 p.m. at the NOTL Community Centre in the full auditorium.

I have a few questions related to this proposal:

Why have they picked the most densely populated area in Old Town? There are some 130 residents nearby.

Why have they picked the entrance to Nelson Park, where visitors, locals and wedding parties come for riverside views and pictures?

Why not locate the tower by the public boat dock near Navy Hall?
