A similar 104-foot antenna support structure can be found at ComEd's Willow Springs substation. The Willow Springs substation carries the common address of 8600 Willow Spring Road in Willow Springs, but it is actually located on the south side of an industrial access road (leading to Valvoline's Willow Springs facility) across the street from a Speedway gas station and just south of the Tri-State Fire Protection District station which is situated at 8259 Willow Springs Road in Willow Springs. A picture of the structure as located at the Willow Springs substation is set forth below. The structure is located to the rear of the substation control building. Note that if one visits the Willow Springs substation, one will see a cellular telephone facility outside the boundaries of the substation but adjacent to it. Know that, as noted earlier, neither ComEd's Structure at the Oakton Street substation nor any portion of the Substation will be used for personal wireless service (5G or otherwise) or any other commercial communications function other than the Structure and other ComEd-only grid-related monitoring and functioning communications. C. Site Plan and Renderings As can be noted on the attached Site Plan, the proposed Structure will be situated within the Substation approximately 8 feet southeast of the existing western substation control building.
