Residents of Tuscany: please note the error in the brite-sign posted within our community announcing the Rogers/Telus/Wind Mobile open house to discuss the 200 ft cell tower that is under consideration for construction within our community.  The sign incorrectly states that the tower will be along Stoney Trail, but the proposal we received states it will be built along Tuscany Blvd within 12 Mile Coulee Park.  The Tuscany Community Association has contacted Rogers Wireless to request that the correct information be posted on the sign.

Our community has not been invited to voice its concerns as a group at the April 26th “open house” organized by Rogers Wireless.
