Savage is getting wireless

Here’s the latest news on wireless in Savage from the Savage Pacer:

Clear Wireless provides wireless broadband high-speed Internet and is expanding its network to serve homes and small businesses in the metro area. Coverage of Savage will require six antennas: three will be located on city water towers and two on existing antenna towers.

The Savage City Council, Savage Planning Commission and the Savage Parks Recreation and Natural Resources Commission each approved the wireless tower plan. I’m not sure if this next tidbit is good news or bad news but apparently notices went out about the various meetings to discuss it and no one showed up. I’m going to optimistically call that an unanimous vote for broadband.

  1. A unanimous vote for broadband I dont think so.Only 39 notices were sent out three to four days before the meeting.My property value has already taken a big hit the last couple years.Now with the 12 story monopole going in a 4 acre park.I sure that will make it worse. The city needs to put it in non residential area.
