Summary
In April 2012, Peaine Township Supervisor Jack Gallagher reported that Verizon planned to replace its existing Kings Highway tower with upgraded equipment intended to provide 4G service. A July resident follow-up said the expected service had not appeared by the end of the month. The April report said the replacement would be the same height and would not cost the township.
Evidence limits
This combines a township supervisor’s report of a proposed carrier project with a resident’s July status observation. It does not establish approval, installation, service activation, or measured coverage improvement; the later activation record is separate evidence.

- A resident reported that the expected July Verizon 4G service had not appeared and linked back to the April supervisor announcement. This is evidence of public uncertainty and a resident's observed lack of service, not a carrier status report or measured coverage test.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 05 · t005242
- Gallagher reported information received from Hightower Engineering Solutions that Verizon planned to replace its existing Kings Highway tower at no cost to the township, retaining the height and adding upgraded equipment intended to provide 4G service. Installation dates were not fixed; this is a supervisor's contemporaneous planning report, not a carrier approval, construction record, or coverage measurement.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 04 · t004811
