The string of tree-lined boulevards along Souris Avenue were undergoing some shallow excavation work on Monday with the intention of giving the grassy areas a new look heading into the second-half of summer.

Landscaping work started Monday for the medians on Souris Avenue North.

City manager Amber Smale said the contractor is digging around the edges of the boulevards. City crews will eventually be adding paving stones.

“Come next year, the centre of those boulevards will see new planters and flower beds along there,” said Smale.

The crews started working on the boulevards in north Estevan, and have been working towards King Street.

Smale said they won't have to shut down traffic completely due to the project, but they might have to close a lane when crews are working.

The budgeted amount is $170,000.

This year’s component is expected to be finished in late September.
