Looks like city figured out how to temporarily solve a problem like Maria by moving the famous Echo Park goose to the Los Angeles Zoo during upcoming construction and rehab at the lake, reports ABC Local. But what will this mean for the daily walk/fly she takes with BFF Dominic Ehler?! Is he moving there too?

Responding to public demand, city officials say Maria will be given a temporary home at the L.A. Zoo until repairs are completed. After that, she will be returned to her hipster homestead & music video location.
