# Helpless in West LA

**VOICES**-Verizon has installed a Cell Street Light right in front of our building in the 2300 block of Beverly Glen in WLA despite our objections.
We’ve had several conversations emails and texts with both the City of LA BSL and Verizon about our objections to it and thought they were reconsidering the location, and Verizon even told my neighbor that yesterday, then they went ahead anyway and installed it this morning. Has anyone else had any experience with this problem? Any advice on what we can do about it?
