A Baltimore County lawmaker said he plans to introduce legislation that would ban cell phone towers on school property and county-owned parkland.
The county?s appellate board Wednesday overturned approval for a cell phone tower near a tennis court and athletic fields at Randallstown High School, a victory for neighbors who said the 11-story pole and high-voltage electrical boxes could prove dangerous to students. But the ruling does not prevent companies from building elsewhere on school grounds, and other community groups could face similar battles, said Councilman Ken Oliver, a Democrat whose district includes Randallstown.
