Salt Lake City is exploring a public reinstallation of the popular sculpture 'The Gulls of Salt Lake City,' after 10 years in storage.
In storage since 2014, sculpture called “The Gulls of Salt Lake City” to go up again near Main Street’s George S. and Dolores Doré Eccles Theater.
The RDA is considering several potential locations, according to Chief Operating Officer Danny Walz, including somewhere on McCarthy Plaza on Regent Street or adjacent to the Eccles Theater. The new cash — if approved by the City Council — would cover initial design and engineering “for how we can make those happen,” Walz said.
“The Gulls” would become a memorable fixture for downtown visitors and tourists over the next 50 years. According to an RDA spokesperson, city officials have since discovered that leftover birds were handed out as souvenirs to contractors and others who did the work. Greenland said the RDA’s up-to-date hand count tallied 58 birds, all safely kept at an undisclosed, city-owned location.
