Consultation has concluded

We are excited to announce that the City's first Wireless Master Plan has been completed! This project was made possible by the $50,000 appropriation from the 2019-2020 biennial budget and aimed to address the issues related to poor wireless service in our community.

The plan is designed to better position the City for future deployment of wireless telecommunication infrastructure while minimizing visual impacts to neighborhoods and the community. The City staff is now working on implementing the adopted regulations to ensure that the plan is carried out effectively.

Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, work on the plan resumed in September 2020
