Council Member Riley follows up on the plans for the terracotta sculptures on the existing Parkchester garage. The representative explains their approach to preserving these historical elements.
- Terracotta sculptures are expensive to restore and replace (over $100,000-$200,000 each)
- Plan to remove and save the sculptures during demolition
- Intent to work with the city on how to respectfully reuse the sculptures, honoring Parkchester's history

You know what what the intent would be is that we build our new new building at 1990, which is closer to the train station, we would build the replacement parking in that before we would ever tear down the active garage that has the 490 spaces.
2:40:50
You did have a second component to your question, which was related to the terracotta structures.
2:40:56
We, you know, it is a very expense a process to restore and replace the terracotta statues on the buildings.
2:41:04
You know, it's it's greater than $100, 200, 000 number when 1 of those has to be removed.
2:41:10
In the process of demolition, we would remove those, and we would save those like we have with other ones that have been removed by the condominium associations.
2:41:19
But in this situation, we would own those rather than the condominiums are on our buildings, but we would do the same thing and try and work with the city, you know, the city has reached out, you know, and how we might reuse use these to be respectful to the history of Rochester.
