New Britain is considering taking down its Christopher Columbus statue in McCabe Park.
The city's Common Council heard from residents for over two hours on the proposal Thursday.
The council is reviewing what it would cost to take down the statue. They are also coming up with a place to put it if it is removed.
Columbus statues have also been removed in Hartford, Bridgeport and Norwalk.
