The grant will allow the borough to match funds to:

• Install two park light poles and LED fixtures to light the ADA walking path
• Install a mosaic tile face on the concrete seating wall frontage
• Install the Cedar Street Moretti Park welcome sign

Borough officials said that Cedar Street Moretti Park is "an attractive pocket park that provides residents and visitors with a unique opportunity to enjoy nature within our close-knit neighborhood."

The creation and transformation of this park has improved stormwater management, ecological function, and overall appearance of the site, while providing passive and active recreation opportunities for residents and visitors.

The selected native landscaping, which also includes the preservation of an existing Japanese maple tree, the creation of a butterfly meadow, and other shrubs and trees to provide shade and attract birds and pollinators are maturing beautifully and are enjoyed by park visitors.
