Great Falls Boulevards Transform City Aesthetic Value
The city has boulevarded three avenues with plans for more, creating long green lines of grass and trees along sidewalks. Maintenance funded by district taxes costs locals about $4 to $8 per season per lot, while the city irrigates parks and plans a separate water supply. Residents and visitors praise the beauty and progress from prairie origins to a refined urban landscape, amid musings on the wireless age and modern intercommunication.
