Seminary moved - Wayspots need to be removed

I submitted the first of several requests to remove the wayspots at the former Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary which relocated and sold the property to a for-profit health system.

Seminarians Move in to Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary’s New Campus to Kick Off 2024-2025 Academic Year – Archdiocese of Philadelphia

The entire property is gated and closed for the foreseeable future as the new owners will be appealing zoning laws for years to come. All of the religious statues and items have been removed/relocated included crosses. The site is not accessible and is gated/secured.

For additional context, the nearby hospital network has bought the land and is converting it into a senior living facility. The seminary itself has moved to a new location, as cited in the first link.

They don’t necessarily need to be resubmitted, you can appeal to have them be reinstated once they are safely accessible again.

thank you. I suspect that the none of the original ones will remain intact since they were all religious in nature.

So now what happens? Does someone review this and decide an outcome?

Thanks for the appeal, @Maum. After reviewing the additional evidence provided, we’ve decided to retire the Wayspot in question.

Regarding the other Wayspots in question, it looks like we haven’t gotten to this request yet or they haven’t been submitted through in-game. At this time, we only take appeals to overturn decisions we’ve already made.

This wayspot still appears in Ingress today. When can I expect it to be removed?
