Seltice Way project will clear trees

The strip of pines in the median of Seltice Way is a landmark of sorts, giving a boulevard-like flavor — Idaho-style — to the east-west route that connects Coeur d’Alene and Post Falls.

Ann Ferguson of Uniburr, a tool manufacturing business on the 3100 block of Seltice Way, remembers when this was the main road, called Highway 10.

The ponderosas have graced the median for as long as she can remember.

As part of a city revitalization project, a couple clumps of the ponderosa pines — some of the stately, old monarchs, as well as young upstarts — will be cut beginning this week to make way for two roundabouts meant to keep the ever-increasing traffic on the popular thoroughfare flowing smoothly/Ralph Bartholdt, Coeur d'Alene Press.
