Elk Crossing



This is the turn-off at Banff, Alberta, Canada to the #1 highway to Calgary .
Great picture isn't it? They had to build the animals (especially the elk)their own bridge because this is where their natural crossing was. After the highway was built there were far too many animals killed. It didn't take the animals long to learn that this was their very own bridge!

And you have some people who say 'Animals are stupid'. Oh really....?

There is a place in northern Delaware near Newark that has a deer bridge over RT 95 I think. It has reduced the number of accidents caused by hitting a deer by a great amount.

And in beautiful downtown Calgary they have a network of raised and enclosed sidewalk-passageways so you don't have to go outside in the winter.

Have you ever been in Calgary for the "Stampede"--it's like nothing you'll see in these parts.
