REDLANDS - A plan to build a cell phone tower that has been hotly contested by certain Redlands residents has been abandoned. The tower, proposed by Omnipoint Communications Inc., a consultant for the cellular service provider T-Mobile, was designed to be 60 feet tall and disguised as a cypress tree. Omnipoint wanted to install the tower on the 1900 block of Country Club Drive.
The El Cajon Planning Commission voted 3-1 Monday night to permit cell phone provider T-Mobile to put a cell phone tower on a single family home.
Neighbors oppose the tower for a variety of reasons. Lynn Dallas said many are worried that the tower could spark a fire or block access to the neighborhood during a fire.

TRUMBULL — Town Council members hoping to keep the "hold" buttons on plans for a cell phone antenna atop Town Hall came up short Monday. Despite a series of questions, including the safety of the installation and the terms of the lease, proponents of the plan approved a contract with Sprint Nextel that calls for the installation of the equipment in the hall's cupola.
