The “Fearless Girl” statue, which has attracted admirers and photo-takers since its installation last year opposite the charging bull on Wall Street, will be moved to a new location in front of the New York Stock Exchange.

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio said the move was motivated in part by safety concerns. The statute is currently located at the narrow northern tip of Bowling Green park, with barely any buffer separating visitors from the traffic on Broadway. He said the new location a few blocks away will improve access.
