Some Moraga residents became curious when they saw heavy equipment plowing the hill on the north side of Rheem Boulevard, between Saint Mary's Rd and Moraga Rd. Is the development of the Rancho Laguna property starting already, even though the project is still under review? Short answer: No.

The work taking place on the Rancho Laguna property is part of the approved installation of AT&T and Verizon Wireless telecommunication antennas that were approved by the Town of Moraga in the first part of 2010. The project will add nine panel antennas on an exiting PG&E tower, and an equipment enclosure southeast of the EBMUD Fayhill Reservoir. According to the Design Review Board resolution, the new structure will be camouflaged and appear to be part of the existing facility.
