Work crews have removed Lonsdale Quay’s rotating Q sign in hopes they can get it living up to its reputation.
Quay Property Management, the owner of Lonsdale Quay, retired the original sign from 1986 last year and replaced it with a newer model. But the new Q hasn’t been the spin doctor the old one was, according to Taylor Mathiesen, director of operations for the Quay.
“It hasn’t been turning for a few months now so this is the last repair they needed to do just to make sure the new sign is fully operational,” he said.
Mathiesen said he expects the 5.5-metre-tall landmark to be back on its pedestal by the end of day Monday.
When the Q is working as it should be, it turns at two revolutions per minute - just over a million rotations per year.
