GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – The City of Green Bay has asked for a new judge in a lawsuit seeking to stop removal of the Packers Heritage Trail Monument, meaning a court hearing scheduled for Friday has been cancelled.
The plaza monument is located at the corner of Cherry and Washington Streets. However, as the city has approved plans for a luxury apartment building, it wants the monument moved. The organization which created the monument filed suit this week, seeking to stop its removal.
Judge Tammy Jo Hock signed a temporary restraining order, and a hearing was scheduled for today before Judge Donald Zuidmulder.
However, the city has asked for a new judge. It does not have to cite a reason for the request, and did not do so.
The case was re-assigned to Judge Hock Friday. A hearing has not been formalized, but is expected to be held before the end of the month.
Zuidmulder’s father played for the Packers from 1929-1931, and Zuidmulder was a member of the Packers’ Board of Directors from 2000 to 2012.
