It's been years now that Verizon has a known no reception area in North Glendora yet to this date, they are still "trying" to get that rectified. It appears they need to get city approval for a tower and two sites, one on Lorraine and Sierra Madre Ave (water dept yard) and the other on Leadora at the San Jose Wash, Oakwood Ave. Both locations are Glendora City owned properties and require approval processes. Some of the residents appear to be against a nicely enhanced pine tree look tower fearing "take away my view". Both of these locations as they are now have nothing nice about them and have old structures and power poles with large transformers handing upon them. I recon the view is in need of redecorating as a new "pine tree" won't hurt with what's there now. Anything would be an enhancement to those locations and the cell tower at Carrol and Washington has no one complaining so it seems. I don't particularly envy the idea of cell towers being the best method to connect however, this is the technology they are investing in so, we do need another tower in North Glendora to fix the many signal issues for about half the residents of Glendora and all of the visitors in North Glendora ranging from plumbers, electricians, home service and repair companies, cable tech's etc. All of them use cell phones and the signals in this area needs help. City of Glendora, if you see this post, how about helping Verizon out and focus on a solution. Maybe a newly designed "tree" that looks more like a tree would help those who oppose a want a be tree design.
