A "NO" VOTE FROM THE RIO RANCHO CITY COUNCIL FOR A CELL PHONE TOWER AT&T WANTS TO BUILD IN SOBANA PARK IN CORRALES HEIGHTS. OUR NEWS PARTNER, KOB-TV, REPORTS THE 4-TO-3 VOTE FOLLOWS CELL TOWERS BEING APPROVED FOR AT&T IN SUGAR PARK AND RIO VISTA PARK.
THE TOWER IN CORRALES HEIGHTS WAS TURNED DOWN AFTER ABOUT 140 RESIDENTS COMPLAINED. THEY SAY IT WOULD BE AN EYESORE THAT WOLD BLOCK THEIR VIEW OF THE SANDIAS.
AT&T IS APPEALING. THE COMPANY SAYS THE CELL TOWER IS NEEDED TO ADDRESS GAPS IN COVERAGE.
