The existing tower is shown on the left, and the new tower’s proposed location is on the right. It is much larger because the parking lot is lower than the rock where the current tower stands. This means a giant tower and a more extensive base. Also, because it will be in the parking lot, it will be protected against accidental car collisions. This will likely mean a loss of at least half the parking stalls. The Conservancy sees no reason the tower could not go beside the existing tower; given that the current tower was installed by crane, so can the new tower. In addition, the old tower will have to be removed by the same crane.
