Is no place sacred from cell towers

Story today about how Framingham residents are fighting a cell tower in an old New England cemetery.

Interesting that it's the archdiocese who is looking to do this - not unlike a situation on Oxford St a few years ago. St Joe's was looking to locate one right in the middle of an area which is prohibited in our zoning. Although the Telecom act of 1996 expressly enables cell tower construction over local objections in areas where wireless services are not there, there is also indication that aesthetics justify cell tower rejections.
