Parks Department To Begin Median Work March 1

Montrose, CO — The City of Montrose Parks Division will begin work on two South Townsend Avenue medians on the southern edge of town, aimed at greatly reducing the city's water usage on the medians. Motorists are urged to use caution when traveling through the area when work begins on March 1.

The sod on both medians will be replaced with cobble rock and a tree drip irrigation system. This project, when completed, will substantially reduce potable water usage and maintenance of the medians. During construction, one lane will be closed on South Townsend Avenue, Monday through Thursday, starting March 1. The lane closure is expected to last till March 26.

Left turn lanes will be limited during construction.
