Show Beautification Planned On Provo - Springville Highway Further bcautificarton of the Provo-Springville highway will begin next week as twenty men of the state highway commission plant honey locust, black walnut, Russian olive and Siberian elms along the route. The project will be one of three similar projects in Salt Lake, Utah and Sevier counties, E. A. Howe of the commission states.. Slopes in Parley's canyon between be-tween the mouth and Mountain Dell reservoir; and planting of elms and shrubs on both sides of the highway north of Richfield are emboidied in the other plans. Seven hundred trees and 4,000 shrubs are to be planted. Additional projects will also get under way at Nep'hi, Cedar City, Fillmore and St. George. Each will require about 8,000 man hours of labor. In these projects road grade will be elevated to a standard that will accommodate a maximum maxi-mum highway width including footpaths. Trees and shrubs will then be planted. Planting of trees and shrubs alongside of highways creates an impression of a narrower road and prevents gaze of motorists from wandering it is stated. |
