Guess what's coming to my neighborhood in Denver?

This is indeed good news. The Watson property is the ONLY commercial land in the area, so they might have been a tough negotiator. My wife drives through this intersection every weekday. No more DEAD zone at the cemetary!

 

:uppoint: :rotfl: I am sooo glad I just swallowed my coffee before reading that!

Glad to hear coverage is improving in your area.

 

great news, no more dead zone at the cementery, :biggrin:

 

Do you mean the Dead are NOT DEAD
Anymore at the Cemetery?

WHOOOOOOOOOOAAAAH
they Have Risennnn.
Who's the Exorcist?

This Great News Indeed but Scary.
A Cemetery is a ZONE for the DEAD.

 

Thanks for the rundown and insight

Climber: Will this site need to go thorugh a local government planning board? If so, don't forget to show up and voice your support.

As a planner, I attend lots of hearing where someone will say "lots of people support the project" but no one else shows up to voice the support. The result: The only comments heard are from those who would have the project defeated.

Congrats on a good first (and perhaps last) step in getting the dead zone made undead.

 

Yep exactly! I attended a hearing in Laguna Niguel late last year and even though there were people who supported the antenna the only people who actually showed up (besides me) were trying to shoot it down. The project ended up getting approval and they did get one written letter in support as well. But like you said the only people who go out of their way to show up at these meetings are the NIMBY's. The people who support end up forgeting about the meeting or just can't get motivated enough to do it I guess.

 

We Denverites are all about things to do in Denver when you're dead. Making phone calls....from the grave.

 

Thanks for keeping us updated on this. Glad Verizon is continuing to expand their network.

 

I didn't drive through the area often, but now that it's close to my son's school and my wife's work, I am using it a lot more! It's one of those spots where a whole bunch of new homes were built and service gradually deteriorated. It's a pretty hefty pole because there is both 850 and 1900 MHz antennas mounted on it.

You should also appreciate the nice generator beside the equipment house. If power or phone service goes out in your neighborhood, it should keep chugging along. The power goes out often at our office, about a mile away, but our Verizon site has never failed due to a power outage. They have no generator, but must have a hefty "bank" of batteries. Another fun analogy, due to the fact that it is intalled on the roof of US Bank!
