The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) invites you to a virtual public space meeting on Thursday, February 8, 2023, to modify the Small Cell (antenna) Guidelines to include the design of the standalone pole. The existing guidelines allow small cell infrastructure to be attached to a limited number of existing DDOT and 3rd party utility poles by entities with an executed Master License Agreement (MLA). Some neighborhoods lack available poles, thus necessitating standalone poles that antennas are attached to for the purpose of transmitting wireless signals.
The MLA holders, in consultation with District and Federal agencies, have designed the standalone pole to use where it is infeasible to attach to existing DDOT lights or 3rd party poles. Standalone pole infrastructure will be owned and maintained by MLA holders and located within public space and therefore, subject to Public Space Committee (PSC) review. The PSC will be holding a special hearing to amend the Small Cell Guidelines to add the design of the standalone pole. The PSC will listen to a number of stakeholder’s comments on the standalone poles.
