Most cell sites end up in the public right of way because private property solutions aren't found. It's a last resort scenario 99% of the time.
Until there is absolute evidence proving there are no harmful effects form extended time near a cell site, I doubt schools will allow them. In California, we are not allowed to place cell sites within 500 feet of a school.

It may be hard to discern from most of my comments, however I am not completely opposed to the cell tower. I am just playing devil's advocate and illustrating that there ARE in fact other options and that the residents should have a right to protest the fact that they are trying to put it in a public green space. As I said earlier, Telus will find an alternative if forced to, and as I illustrated above, it's not that hard to find an alternative location that is suitable.
