The Diving Lady has been a landmark in Mesa for approx. 50 years. Many of us remember her from our childhood. ...fond memories.
We are all wondering: "Will the Diving Lady return?"
The EV Tribune says: "the sign currently exists as a 'legal non-conforming sign,' meaning it was grandfathered in before the city put its current sign laws in place in the mid 1990s. The current law requires signs to be no taller than 12 feet and no more than 80 square feet in circumference. It also prohibits animated neon."
Mesa City Councilman Alex Finter told the Tribune on Monday that he suggests the city do “everything possible” and allow an exception for the sign to go back up.
Many Mesa residents have offered to help pay to restore the Diving Lady.
It looks like there is a good chance the Diving Lady will return. :)
