Five crossings by grizzlies in 1996 have grown to 177 last summer-
Grizzlies using highway crossings. By Cathy Ellis. Rocky Mountain Outlook. They clearly are working.
It would be nice if some of stimulus money here in the U.S. went into wildlife crossings. They are as shovel ready as other highway projects.

This is good news and I agree Ralph, it would be good to have some crossing structures in critical areas here in the U.S.
One place that comes to mind is that stretch along highway 191 inside Yellowstone where all kinds of wildlife are killed by the speeding traffic through the Park. There are many other places that would benefit as well.
