They buried the lead:

The big sign

The bizarre, hulking sign hanging from the top of the Five Points station is likely on the way out. Originally installed as a solar-powered information sign that displayed the time and temperature, it hasn't worked in decades. Scott calls it a "monstrosity," saying it's time "to get the doggone thing working or get it out." At this point, she says, no one has been able to figure out how to use it, so plans are to remove it.

When they take it down, they should truck it over to Georgia Tech. What a fun investigative project that would be.
