Stop the Cell Tower Proposed for the Granite Springs Road Neighborhood - Where Children Play

A 10-story cell tower does not belong next to homes where children play and where a vast wetland is home to turtles, bats, beavers & swans.

Don’t let them do it! Don’t let the Town of Yorktown sell or lease a piece of their wetland to put a large, unnecessary, 10-story cell tower directly next to my neighbor’s homes and backyards! I live about a mile north of the proposed tower and our family and neighbor’s cell service is just fine, including in bad weather. If you live on or near Granite Springs Road, around Curry Street (south), Sparkle Lake, Weatherby Street, Royce Court or near Quaker Church Road and Evergreen Street, you might soon have a giant 130-foot cell-phone tower, bigger than any building in Yorktown – placed right in your lap. They are considering placing this tower on the north side of Granite Springs Road – opposite the lake (between Curry Street and Quaker Church Road). Right now, it’s an expansive, quiet, beautiful wetland with trees, nature, animals, and waterfowl. Don’t let your children and families grow up with long-term radio-wave cell tower pollution, possible chemical run-off, a large fire hazard, reduced property values and a huge, unsightly tower visible from every angle. Please attend the Town Board meeting on Tuesday, February 3, 2026 at 7:30 p.m. at Yorktown Town Hall, 363 Underhill Avenue to learn more and have the chance to oppose this project. Please also email the 5 Town Board members and Town Clerk: Supervisor@yorktownny.gov, sesposito@yorktownny.gov, pmurphy@yorktownny.gov, ssiegel@yorktownny.gov, igilbert@yorktownny.gov, townclerk@yorktownny.gov
