When they built the A2 highway in Poland from Warsaw to Berlin, the EU required them to build wildlife overpasses. They also installed wildlife cameras that were operated by motion detectors to capture photographs of the furry critters that used the multi-million dollar overpasses.

In over 5 years they did not capture a single photograph of an animal using the expensive overpass.

Obviously, some state worker saw the photo of one of these in Belgium that has been making its way around the internet.

It would be a lot cheaper if we just hired El Chapo’s people to dig a tunnel.

Probably not their idea. They’d rather not waste taxpayer money on that kind of goofy thing.

Caltrans is forced to go through a lengthy “environmental review” process with projects large and not so large. This process involves the participation of “stakeholders” who unfortunately include loony enviro-kook groups.

No sh*t. It’s the South 101 where this idiotic wildlife overpass is being considered. Did they mean the freaks and fags from santa Monica as ‘wildlife”?

Who is going to operate the school for mountain lions to teach them how to read the signs directing them to the overpasses?

Our county has a deer underpass on highway 50 just outside of Sacramento.

Speculation by some locals is that if the deer are smart enough to find it, the mountain lions will be too.

And the only guaranteed stupid animals are the idiots that funded it.

Go Cailfornia

Wait, Agoura? There’s undeveloped land north of 101 in Agoura? Guess I haven’t been there in too long to remember accurately.

Establishing a high ground for predatory cats.

What could possibly go wrong?

Start issuing tickets to mountain lions that refuse to use the overpasses. That’ll learn ‘em! ;)

Maybe they should include a lap pool in the overpass for fish and so avid swimmers could commute to work.

“Probably not their idea. They’d rather not waste taxpayer money on that kind of goofy thing.”

I used to live there. Cal Trans is notorious for taking a project that would take six months anywhere else and stringing it out for five years of union dues. I suspect they see wildlife overpasses as a new profit center.
