Ronie Haliburton, resident of the 5800 block of DeGiverville and at-large Washington Heights representative to the Community Council, reports that Block Unit 1035’s beautification project on the Waterman-DeGiverville triangle park has received good news regarding the statue “Flight.” Installed over twenty years ago and currently in need of restoration, the statue’s fiberglass construction challenged many experts regarding how its repair should proceed.
With the assistance of 28th Ward Alderman Lyda Krewson and Director of Parks, Recreation and Forestry Dan McGuire, resources have been identified to direct and complete the statue’s restoration and repair. Because the statue was paid for by the fundraising efforts of neighborhood children in the 1970’s, it is hoped to finish off this great project by having neighborhood kids become involved In the installation of a commemorative sign at this location. More to follow as details become available.
