The triangle was home to a county police booth before an errant driver destroyed the structure in May 2001. Just over seven years after that accident, and about 10 years after plans to refurbish the area were originally conceived, there now stands a 25-foot-tall lighthouse, a boat that serves as a planter, pilings, a new evergreen tree and a flag pole. "Out of the rubble of that accident stands this monument," Toback said. In addition to the firefighters and government officials, the plaques honor the victims of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, houses of worship, veterans and service organizations.
