Several people have wondered why the Charles E. Belknap statue isn't more prominently displayed in the Belknap neighborhood. This is a petition to relocate the Charles Belknap statue, currently situated near Griff's Icehouse, to a more conspicuous location within the Belknap Neighborhood, (namely, to the Southeast, or Southwest corner of the intersection at Coit Avenue and Hastings Street in Grand Rapids, Michigan). We believe that the relocation will help to reinvigorate historical awareness and community pride, while acting as a welcoming beacon to those that may happen to work or visit the Belknap area. Help us achieve our goal by signing our petition. Thank you! (Only fields marked with an asterisk * will be visible to the public.)

Great idea. It deserves a much better spot than being tucked away by the parking lot.

YES PLEASE. Lets get it over to Coit and Hastings like we talked about at the meeting. It would look so much better in the main intersection.
