Blackridge cell tower map
Signature Homes won approval for construction of a cell phone tower in the Blackridge community south of Trace Crossings in Hoover, Alabama, on Thursday, Nov. 3, 2016. The cell tower site is labeled here as "project site," just south of the planned Lake Wilborn community.
The Hoover Planning and Zoning Commission tonight will consider final plans for a 250-foot-tall cell tower in the Blackridge community just south of Trace Crossings and Lake Wilborn.
The tower is needed to provide better cell phone coverage to the 500 houses to be built in Lake Wilborn and the 650 houses that Signature Homes plans to build on its portion of Blackridge, said Richard Johnson, a representative for Signature.
Plus, it should help provide better cell service for Hoover Metropolitan Stadium and the new $80 million sports complex the city is building next to the stadium, he said.

The Planning and Zoning Commission also will hear other requests tonight, including requests to approve:
- Preliminary plans for 93 houses that make up the second phase of the 499-house Lake Wilborn community.
- Preliminary plans for 43 town houses in the Ross Bridge Village Center. Read more about those town houses here.
- A family entertainment center known as Circus Trix at 6009 Tattersall Drive in the Tattersall Park development near the intersection of U.S. 280 and Alabama 119.
- Final plans for a resurvey of two lots owned by King Acura on U.S. 31.
The Hoover Planning and Zoning Commission tonight will first have a work session at 5 p.m. in the conference room behind the William J. Billingsley Council Chambers, to be followed by an action meeting at 5:30 p.m. in the council chambers. Both meetings are open to the public, though public input typically is only allowed at the action meeting.
