The city is spending $1 million on landscaping and a dock at Beaver Lake, near the trio of futuristic cabins across from the chalet.

The cabins, which look as if they’re leaning in the wind, were built in 2015-16 and are used for nature groups, as a ticket booth and to store equipment. Last year they won a Grand Prix du Design.

The city plans to landscape the area around them by creating walkways in wood and aluminum and a rain garden, in keeping with the humid environment.

The landscaping work will not have a major impact on park users, according to city documents.

Executive committee member Luc Ferrandez said the work is a continuation of the city’s efforts to enhance Mount Royal’s natural beauty.

“We’re improving it bit by bit,” he said.

Major work to restore Beaver Lake began in 2012

The executive committee approved on Wednesday the $1,079,520 expense, to be carried out by Arthier Construction.
