V Woodlawn area residents against small-cell antennas By Christopher Roberson erizon Wireless recently went before the City Council to request approval to attach fi ve small-cell antennas to telephone poles on Woodlawn Avenue, Springvale Avenue, Jeff erson Avenue, Winthrop Road and Vaughn Street. The request comes just months after the City Council granted approval for Extenet, LLC to install 60 similar devices. Therefore, the new request from Verizon did not sit well with residents in the Woodlawn neighborhood. Debra Ciulla of Madison Avenue said that Everett, being a working-class community, has become a target for companies to install such devices. “You drive through affl uent communities and you don’t see that,” she said during the council’s March 9 meeting, adding that the same request would trigger overwhelming opposition in a city like Winchester. Ciulla also said wireless technology has not been around long enough to accurately gauge the health risks associated with these devices. In addition, Ciulla said that despite sending a letter, Verizon was still not honest with Woodlawn residents. “All of the information that was given to the council was not given to the public,” she said. Elizabeth Baker of Vaughn Street said residents’ health and well-being should not be compromised just to improve cell phone service. She also spoke about the unsightly appearance of wireless equipment. “Would anyone want that outside their front door?” asked Baker. Mark Mirra of Woodlawn Avenue said the presence of wireless equipment has spiraled out of control. “Verizon is such a monopoly, you see enough on the poles as it is,” he said. Gregory Young, also of Woodlawn Avenue, said large wireless companies will continue to look at Everett as a place to install their equipment. “They’re going to be popping these things like Cheerios all over the city,” he said. After listening to residents’ concerns, Eric Campbell, speaking on behalf of Verizon, maintained that there are specifi c limVerizon Wireless recently presented the City Council with a request to install fi ve smallcell antennas in the Woodlawn neighborhood.
