Options include leaving the statue in place, adding additional signage, adding additional statues of other important figures, removing and placing in storage, removing and installing somewhere else, and removing and selling the statue.
An open-ended question also allows respondents to share any other thoughts or comments regarding the Throckmorton statue.
The survey is part of the city’s research related to the historical context, appropriateness and relevance of the statue in McKinney’s downtown, after a number of residents asked for the statue's removal. Answers on the survey will be considered public comments and provided to City Council.
The Throckmorton statue ad hoc advisory board will meet for its last meeting at 4:30 p.m. Sept. 17. This meeting will also provide time for public comments. Following this meeting, staff will present the findings from the advisory committee for City Council review and possible action in October.
