Mosaic Project gets council support to paint street barriers and proposes pocket‑park 'rainbow bridge'
Summary
Liz Naro of the Mosaic Project asked permission to paint two cement barriers on Popular Street and proposed a painted 'rainbow bridge' at the pocket park; councilmembers expressed support and asked her to coordinate with borough planning staff about property lines and permitting.
During public comment, Liz Naro of the Mosaic Project asked council for approval to paint two cement barriers near the bottom of Popular Street and described a separate idea to add a painted or built 'rainbow bridge' feature at the borough pocket park.
"I'm just looking to paint them, no particular color, probably just flowers or something," Naro said, asking whether she needed to return to a future meeting. Councilmembers responded favorably but raised jurisdictional and permitting questions: members asked Naro to confirm whether the segment is in Dunmore or Scranton and to coordinate with zoning/planning staff (Mike Brazil) before proceeding.
Naro also floated a pocket‑park idea she described as a 'rainbow bridge' that would make the park more visible and safe for pedestrians; council members encouraged her to consult Mike Brazil about zoning and construction requirements and indicated general support pending those checks.
Council did not require a return appearance but asked Naro to coordinate with staff to ensure permits are not required and to confirm property jurisdiction before any work begins.
