   They are called “ASR 1025293″ and “ASR 1064388″, aka the city’s “Central Radio Station“:

   This facility has one 180 foot (54.9 metre) tower, ASR 1025293, and one 197 foot (60 metre) tower, ASR 1064388, providing communications support for the City Police and Fire Departments, 911 dispatch system, Sheriff, District Attorney, Office of Emergency Management, Public Utilities Commission and the Unified School District (operating radio station KALW).

   We should have a naming contest!

     Well, “Jack and Diane” by that argument.

   So if, hypothetically, one wanted to knock out police communications…

   So nimby neighbors won’t allow cell antennas to go up, yet somehow we have a humongous tower that only provides a tiny amount of usage for city services?
