FRESNO, Calif. (KFSN) — A historic central Fresno monument will return after it was destroyed in a crash.<\/p>\n
If you’ve ever been in the area of Palm and Simpson, near Fresno High, you may have spotted a 12-foot pillar.<\/p>\n
Last December, the city said a DUI driver slammed into it.<\/p>\n
Instead of scrapping the marker, Fresno Mayor Jerry Dyer announced the city is rebuilding it by hand, using as much of the original material as possible.<\/p>\n
“For generations, these 12-foot pillars have welcomed residents into the neighborhood and become an important part of this community’s identity and character,” he said.<\/p>\n
The pillar welcomes people to the Boulevard Gardens neighborhood, which was created in 1919.<\/p>\n
Two other markers will be repaired.<\/p>\n
Work is expected to finish in two to three weeks.
