'This is long overdue': Councillor hopes impending cellphone tower improves reception in deep northeast
"The signals in this area are very poor which has been causing multiple challenges in communications for several years."
by Scott Strasser · Calgary HeraldAfter a community petition last fall garnered more than 1,000 signatures, Rogers has agreed to build a cellphone tower in northeast Calgary.
The 20-metre tower will be built in October on a vacant patch of land at 10960-42 Street N.E., on the west side of Metis Trail, across from the community of Cityscape.
It comes nearly a year after Skyview Ranch resident Prabhpal Mann started a change.org petition to sound the alarm over poor connectivity in Calgary’s deep northeast that frequently causes calls to drop.
