A motion was made/seconded and unanimously approved to allow First Selectman Unk DaRos to explain what Amtrak is planning for the installation of the Cell Towers on the Branford Line. The tower that is most concerning for Stony Creek is the one to be installed on the Fire House. Would it block the existing overhead door? Will the neighbors to the Fire House have access to their property? Will the height of the tower be a problem? A meeting will be scheduled to go over the plan with the residents of Branford.
