Median wellness

Justo Ruiz, an employee with Springtime Landscape and Irrigation, fills a trash can with debris Wednesday as part of a rehabilitation project on the medians near Southwest Century Drive and Chandler Avenue in Bend. The city is having medians repaired and landscaped as part of a monthlong Median Rehabilitation Project. Other medians included in the project are those on Northwest Franklin Avenue at Northwest Bond Street, Northeast Olney Avenue, Southwest Reed Market Road and along 27th Street. The project will include putting in native and drought-tolerant plants, river rock and mulch. Work is scheduled between 6 a.m. and 5 p.m. and may require lane closures. Drivers should plan to use alternate routes during work hours when possible.
