near one of the busiest and most complex intersections in the city, the intersection of Tamiami Trail (U.S. 41), and the state route that must be taken for all traffic across Sarasota Bay to and from barrier islands and beaches situated between the mainland and the Gulf of Mexico. Debate about returning the statue to that location ensued, with an editorial calling for moving the statue to a safer location, as had been advocated by critics before the statue was placed for the controversial ten-year display. The statue was re-erected in the same location, however, in December 2012. Accepted into public art collection The city commission voted to accept the statue into the city public art collection at the end of the ten-year temporary display agreement even though the controversies remained as issues in the community.

A decision was made to make a new permanent location for it in another location on the bay front instead of having to move it twice. At public meetings, city commissioners agreed that a second interpretive sign could be allowed to address the controversies. In 2021, a proposal to place a second interpretive sign addressing the controversies was presented to the city commission at a public meeting in Sarasota on December 6. The proposed sign would be donated by Friends of Seagate and would be designed and drafted through a joint effort by the organization, city staff overseeing public art, and the public arts committee, as well as, having to meet the approval of the city commission. The sign would accompany the existing interpretive sign for the statue that had been designed to resemble historical markers and was placed solely by the donor who offered the statue to the city, and it stood for the ten years of the display.
