Finally! As of May 2025, cellular service is live in the back of our valley, providing coverage to 90%+ of the homes in Sleepy Hollow, and to most of the length of Butterfield Road ("spotty" areas on Butterfield remain, south of Green Valley Court).

The Sleepy Hollow Homes Association board, in partnership with San Domenico school and Verizon Wireless, advocated tirelessly starting in Spring 2020 to make this project succeed, gathering a sampling of wet signature comments from 667 residents of Sleepy Hollow, with an overwhelming 98.5% stongly in favor of adding cellular service as soon as feasible.

-The safety ramifications were enormous and connectivity for this community was desperatly overdue.

Thanks to the truly tireless efforts of the volunteer SHHA board, Verizon was willing to pursue a new tower installation in a region of the Bay Area notorious for activist opposition to such installations.  

Today, Sleepy Hollow residents enjoy the safety and convenience of cellular service in their community. Verizon customers reap this benefit today; customers of other carriers should consider switching, given the urgent safety ramifications.  Other carriers are welcomed by Verizon to co-locate transmitters on the new tower but so far no others have taken the steps to install transmitters.

Major thanks are due to San Domenico school for their practical approach in offering their land for the tower location. Thanks also to Katie Rice and her former staff members, and if you know a SHHA board member, thank them for the effort that led to this outcome - Verizon now holds up SHHA's approach to community consensus gathering as a model for other Marin and Bay Area communities pleading for the safety enhancements that come with cellular coverage.
