Chartiers Twp. Council Denies Request To Build Cell Phone Tower

By: KDKA-TV News Staff

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- A new cell phone tower won't be going up in Chartiers Township after all.

Borough council voted to deny the application.

The proposed plan would've allowed for a tower to be built on a hillside near Ridge Avenue.

Some neighbors argued that the 150 foot tower would have ruined views, hurt property values, and would have the potential to cause landslides.
