Mosaic removal on St. Mark's Place?

I'm not sure what to make of this... As you can see here, someone wrapped tape around one of Jim Power's mosaics on St. Mark's Place and Second Avenue...



The tape has been ripped in part ... but it appears to say "Mosiac Work To Be Removed."



Last I heard, via Neighborhoodr, Jim was coming back to the neighborhood a few days a week to do some repair work on his Mosaic Trail... perhaps this is his print... and he intends to replace it... Or there's something else... there's a recent entry on Jim's blog that reads, "bad day......MOSAIC"S to be covered and REMOVED after 26 years."

As I said at the top, I'm not sure what to make of this...

    ...but why would he remove it (or threaten to) because he is not receiving funding for it? Did he expect funding 26 years ago and never received it? Is it just now he is asking for funding for the mosaics? Wouldn't it cost more/take more time to remove it than to leave it up? Does it cost him money to have the mosaics there? So many questions...
