Landscape work has started on Turtle Mountain Boulevard after the city made the final decision on the scope of the project.
It was last November when city council directed administration to proceed with changes to the boulevard’s landscaping, following a period of consultation with area residents.
“Prior to making a decision on the landscape changes, administration worked with residents to find a solution that balances a desire for landscaped boulevards and a need to reduce maintenance costs,” said Mayor Victor Cumming. “During the consultation period, there was no single option that was preferred by residents, so staff took all the feedback and put together an alternative option in order to best capture residents’ desires, reduce maintenance costs, and support the maximum number of mature trees. We believe the use of native seed mix and the installation of a drip irrigation system will achieve this outcome.”
Work on Turtle Mountain Boulevard Phase 1 kicked off this week with city crews starting the excavation.
A contractor will be completing the remainder of the work.
