Oh, Deer

L.A. considers freeway overpass for wildlife

Posted at 10:32 AM on 10 Oct 2007

Los Angeles is considering adding another commuter lane -- for wildlife. But a proposal for a $455,000 animal path over the 405 Freeway is unpopular with residents who argue that transportation dollars should go to easing human-caused congestion, not making the commute more enjoyable for bobcats, coyotes, deer, and opossums.

LA has too much history of putting people first

You have to love these Angelenos complaining that the 405 needs to be expanded to alleviate congestion, and so what about the animals. You know what would alleviate LA's congestion? About a million or two fewer people. Talk about unsustainable.

The comments of Grist users reflect the opinions of those individuals only, and do not necessarily reflect the viewpoints of Grist, its staff, its board members, their psychotherapists, or their aestheticians. Got it?
