Brian Sedar wants 5G access in San Francisco’s Upper Cole Valley neighborhood, where he lives. But then came the new utility pole with a bulky gray box that blemished his once-pristine views of the historic St. Ignatius Church and the waters of the San Francisco Bay. With the support of 115 neighbors, Sedar, a former engineer with Bechtel, took his case to the San Francisco Public Works Department. His argument: If the city has to put up 5G small cells, do they have to be so intrusive? “For us neighbors and for people who are walking in our neighborhood, this is the worst effing place you could put something like this,” Sedar told Smart Cities Dive. “If you could move this to a less heavily trafficked place, or a less scenic corner, why couldn’t you?”
