That would be logistically difficult in a canyon of skyscrapers with roads, bridges, and boats underneath. The removal of that sign, like the installation, would need to be carefully planned and slowly executed. It can't be done under the cover of night. IIRC the original installation took a few weeks and went up one letter at a time.
If the city wants to take away the sign's power swiftly, it'd be a lot easier to invite that artist back with the floating pigs, and give him an arts grant to hire a parade balloon company for a "temporary arts installation".
