That stretch of road was last resurfaced in 2007. Undergrounds for most of the eastern half of Fourth Street were completed at that time, although the 800 and 900 blocks of Fourth Street were not. GenCo Asphalt was awarded the resurfacing tender for $1,167,000. The estimated cost of the watermain and services for the 800 and 900 blocks of Fourth Street is approximately $219,000. Thus the total roadway and watermain replacement expense is estimated to be $1,386,000. The Urban Highways Connector Program, offered through the Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure, will supply $570,000, leaving the city to cover the remaining $816,000. The tender stipulates the resurfacing would begin July 5 and wrap up July 23.

The Leader-Post last week reported Ladouceur was dealing with union pressure from the SFPO. The provincewide police officer’s union believes Ladouceur and Estevan’s board of police commissioners inappropriately handled Workers Compensation Board (WCB) claims filed by late constable Jay Pierson, by appealing those claims.
His final day will be April 16. Ladouceur has been facing criticism from the community for how he and the Estevan board of police commissioners allegedly handled Workers Compensation Board (WCB) claims made by the late Jay Pierson, a long-time EPS constable. Pierson, who was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) by three medical professionals, died on March 5 of natural causes at the age of 49. Saskatchewan Federation of Police Officers (SFPO) president Casey Ward said that after Pierson s death, the Estevan police members called non-confidence votes for the chief. He added that it wasn t the first time the issues rose at the service.
