U.S. Rep. Jerry Nadler has jumped into the fray over the city’s new hulking 5G antenna towers in Manhattan, where residents have railed against the cellular poles.
Nadler penned a letter Wednesday to the Federal Communications Commission Chairwoman Jessica Rosenworcel, urging the agency to review the proposed installation of LinkNYC 5G towers throughout New York City’s historic preservation districts.
In response, the city’s Office of Technology and Innovation asserted that the installation of the 5G poles already follows all federal regulations around historic preservation. Nadler’s criticism follows similar reactions among a handful of community boards stretching across his district. Manhattan community boards 2, 5, 8 and 9 have each made declarations asking for the city to slow or stop the installation of such poles.
The section of historic preservation law he cited requires federal agencies to assess the effects their actions may have on historic buildings and to consider public views and concerns about historic preservation.
