Residents in New Canaan weighed in Wednesday on a proposed cell tower on town-owned property.

A town council meeting was held at town hall and virtually to discuss the Ponus Ridge Road site.

Town officials say there's no existing service in a large part of the town. They say added coverage will make communication much better for their first responders.

Concerns from the community remain with the proximity to West Elementary School and possible harmful side effects to children and staff.

The town council is expected to continue discussing this controversial issue at their meeting next month.
