Marine Park residents braved the rain Saturday to protest the construction of a T-Mobile cell phone tower. Residents say they are not anti-cell phone, but they don?t feel their neighborhood is the right location for a tower. They also say they were not told in advance and the permits were not in place. The Buildings Department has issued a stop work order on the tower, confirming what residents say is unsafe construction. State legislators have introduced a bill that would force cell phone companies to notify residents when they put up a tower in their neighborhood.
