If you’ve seen yellow tape and orange poles around the Town Plaza Lion Fountain recently, it’s because City crews are currently performing ‘mane-tenance’ on the sculpture.
A Culver City spokesperson told Patch, the City “is currently evaluating the function and operation of the fountain, the lion sculpture, and the public space that surrounds it. The City wants to protect the artwork and help ensure that the public can enjoy it.”
The tape and poles are expected to be removed sometime today and the fountain will be shut off while the fountain area is inspected and any necessary repairs made.
