WHAT IS THE ISSUE?
- A small cell tower was placed on top of LADWP utility pole by AT&T in a Del Rey neighborhood sometime in mid-January 2018 without any warning or letter advising nearby residents. No letter has been issued by AT&T as of today.
- Health studies conclude that living near Cell Towers is especially hazardous to children; Cell Towers should be no closer than 1300 feet (¼ mile) from residences, schools, and parks frequented by children.

- Cell Towers continuously emit RF/EMF 24 hrs/day. We do not want our families and our neighbors exposed to electromagnetic radiation, as these Cell Tower emissions are dangerous to human health. [https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10762-010-9731-z ]
