Brian's "Icon of my city"

THE CROW’S NEST
Established in 1920
A Ferndale landmark, The Crow’s Nest served as an early traffic signal at the intersection of Nine Mile and Woodward Avenue. The structure was created to hold policemen high above heavy traffic to direct traffic in a safe environment. The Crow’s Nest was removed in 1928 during the widening of Woodward Avenue and the advent of the electric traffic signal. Ferndale honors that history, as well as showcases Ferndale's artistic community through the installation of an artist’s metal sculptural interpretation of the Crow’s Nest.
