Children's Health Defense, a US advocacy group, urged the public to tell the borough council of Spring Lake, New Jersey in the United States to postpone its September 15 vote on a proposed settlement with Verizon over wireless facilities in the borough. According to the group's action alert, the settlement would allow Verizon to install wireless equipment on the beachfront pavilions, and residents worry it could open the door to further installations, reduce Planning Board review and weaken public participation in future siting decisions. The alert says residents are asking the council to postpone the vote and are preparing potential state court actions.

"Residents are also concerned about potential changes that could reduce Planning Board review and meaningful public participation in future wireless siting decisions, as well as impacts on Spring Lake’s beachfront, historic pavilions, community character, aesthetics, property values, quality of life, and the health and environmental impacts of wireless radiation."

"Spring Lake residents are asking the Borough to postpone the September 15 vote and engage in open, transparent, and meaningful discussions with the community about the settlement and the best path forward."
