In November 2019, city officials announced that they wished to move "Charging Bull" to a plaza outside the New York Stock Exchange due to safety concerns at Bowling Green. Officials stated that because "Charging Bull" is located on a traffic median with large crowds, it was vulnerable to terrorist attacks, citing examples such as the 2017 truck attack on the nearby West Side Highway. Local community group Downtown Alliance supported the relocation, but Di Modica opposed it. The New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) had filed an application with the New York City Public Design Commission (PDC) to relocate "Charging Bull", but subsequently withdrew the application, which a city spokesperson said was due to uncertainty over the new location. Residents of Manhattan Community District 1, which includes the Financial District, expressed opposition to the relocation in a meeting with city officials in May 2020. At the time, updated plans called for "Charging Bull" to be located at the corner of Broad Street and Wall Street, north of "Fearless Girl". The PDC declined to endorse relocation in June 2020.
