An Allegheny County judge declared that Pittsburgh officials are free to remove from Schenley Park the divisive Christopher Columbus statue, the central figure in a years-long legal battle pitting history against itself.
The statue, which has been vandalized numerous times, remained standing and wrapped in plastic on Tuesday, as it has for nearly two years.
Maria Montano, a spokeswoman for Mayor Ed Gainey's Office, said the administration is "reviewing the opinion and looking at the next steps moving forward."
