I would like to request that in your environmental studies for this project you investigate wildlife-vehicle accidents along
the roadway and potential wildlife habitat connectivity issues. I want to determine if the proposed bridges are adequate
to serve the project area’s wildlife or if other locations should be targeted for wildlife crossings of some sort. As you are
aware, going from a 2-lane road to a 4-lane divided facility greatly reduces the likelihood of animals safely crossing the
road and is a significant safety issue, as well as habitat connectivity and population viability issue. Many motorists will
break and swerve to avoid even the smallest animals (like me).

Thanks for your attention to this issue,
Marla
