The Austin Parks and Recreation Board has decided to form a working group to assess the feasibility of creating a 'rainbow bridge' pet memorial in a city park. Inspired by similar successful installations nationwide, Board Chair Pedro Villalobos emphasizes the project could deepen connections within the community while promoting Austin's reputation as a pet-friendly city. The working group's goal is to envision the project and present a formal resolution to the board for further action, potentially leading to city council's investment in this initiative.
"There are certain city parks throughout the United States where they have created a bridge that is rainbow-colored and allows people the opportunity to tie collars, or something meaningful from their pets, as a way to honor and remember their pets."
"The purpose of the working group would be to figure out what this can look like and then bring forward a resolution to the board to vote on, (We) can recommend City Council take it as an initiative to invest the time, money and resources necessary to make it a reality."
