Pegasus Sign Atop Downtown Dallas Hotel in Danger of Falling Off, City Officials Say --
is in danger of falling if it goes without repairs, city officials warned Wednesday.
The nearly 90-year-old steel base for the 15-ton sign is so corroded that it could fall off the roof, they said. The Dallas City Council approved close to $358,000 to repair and stabilize the base as well as to fix corrosion on a rooftop crane needed to get to the sign and replace missing neon lighting.
Dallas City Manager T.C. Broadnax said high winds in recent weeks make securing the sign a high priority and that ultimately, it’s the city’s responsibility to pay for the repairs.Download NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth
