Hwy 410 cell coverage

Please read the following regarding an effort to get better cell phone coverage on the HWY 410 corridor. This is a big safety and convenience benefit for all of us.

If you travel along Highway 410, this campaign “CAN YOU HEAR US NOW?” needs your input. Go to this link to register your support for improving cell phone signal coverage.

Lack of reliable signal from any of the wireless providers along the Hwy 410 corridor often delays the help response to an emergency. Our local Pierce County Fire District #26 continues to have multiple communication issues due to the lack of reliable cell phone coverage. WSDOT in 2007 recorded over 720,000 vehicles on Hwy410. Yearly traffic is now locally estimated close to 1 million.

A signature petition drive will also be launched early 2012. Website responses and collected signatures will be compiled for planned meetings with primary wireless providers.
