Google Fiber huts get push back from Historic and Design Review Commission

“There has been another push back on the city and Google over Google Fiber telecommunication huts placed in city parks. Now it’s not just the residents who aren’t happy with the huts, it’s the Historic and Design Review Commission.

After a heated meeting, the commission sent back Google’s proposal, asking for more details.

The huts are part of Google Fiber’s infrastructure, a way to bring faster internet to San Antonio. However, their recent placement in Haskin and West End parks have caused chaos.

“It had a park atmosphere, and now that hut completely blocks my view. So when I look that way, all I see is that and I hear when it goes online, there’s going to be noise,” said Cynthia Franklin, who lives next to Haskin Park.

Franklin is one of many neighbors who are furious they had no say in the matter.”
