Burlington/Brooklyn artist Abby Manock recently returned to Dewey Park in the city’s Old North End to refresh Interlace — the pavement mural she completed in 2014 on Spring Street, adjacent to the park.

Originally submitted to the Department of Public Works (DPW) by neighbors of the park, the street closure set the stage for the ‘Dewey Annex’ and with that, the colorful and beautiful pavement treatment (that includes embedded reflective glass beads) which provides a bold statement about streets as public spaces.

Burlington Parks, Recreation & Waterfront has recently completed a detailed survey of the park and the adjacent street rights of way, and is discussing potential scenarios with DPW for the future of Spring Street.

Stay tuned for more project updates!
