  LONDON, ONT. It is a monument designed to tell London’s story, from its Indigenous roots to its founder John Graves Simcoe and later leaders, artists and humanitarians. But in the 30 years since its placement in the median of Wellington Street just north of Queens Avenue, it has become little more than a traffic barrier. And a decaying one at that. The ‘People and the City’ monument is crumbling at its base, and its copper structure needs a brushing-up. Concerned Londoner Dale Veno, a master stone mason, sums up the situation. “This monument is in bad shape. I mean it is narrative art, and it tells a wonderful story about the city. But the problem is the pedestal.”
