[Permatopia] Vital importance: 2 events WED., 5.27: Cell Tower Public Hearing (& Teach-in: Cellphone Use Health Risks)

[Kathy Ging]

FIRST EVENT - pls. attend the PUBLIC HEARING Wednesday even if you do not plan to speak. 

(If you do speak, try to bring a written or typed copy of your remarks to save the city money transcribing.)


If this AT& T/Crossfire Church application is approved at 4060 W. Amazon, Eugene,

it could set a precedent for building numerous cell towers in the middle of many other Eugene neighborhoods.

This 75 foot cell tower would also be across from the protected Amazon Creek

Wildlife Corridor in which $2.7 million of public and private funds have been spent!

THANK YOU to those who have contributed to the legal defense fund so far! If you have yet to contribute, we need to raise $5,000 to defend the Amazon Creek natural area and surrounding neighborhoods from degradation by the proposed ATT/Crossfire cell tower. The funds are needed for our land use attorney and professional engineering expertise that will counter technical aspects of the proposal. 

Your donation will also help prevent a precedent that could threaten other Eugene neighborhoods. Please consider a tax deductible (501c 3) donation. Click here for instructions on how to donate

A garage sale to raise money for the legal fund is tentatively planned for Sat., June 27 - pls. collect items to contribute - no clothes pls!  Details later.
