Awesome work!
The wildlife corridor is a good idea, although it does nothing for the mountain lions in the SM mountains. At least in the Newhall Pass area, there are multiple access areas that dodge the freeway. Of course, they still have to make it through Sierra Highway without getting hit by the cars zooming through that alternate route from the 14 Fwy.
SCV mavens have done a lot for the natural species in this area; open spaces, natural (?) trails, etc.
But how will the increased use of these trails by bicyclists reduce the impact on the natural fauna? Less deaths by vehicle impact, absolutely. As for hikers, well that will really depend on them, won’t it?
The Wild still exists, even as we impinge upon it. We cannot expect The Wild to change it’s behavior just because our apex species decides to use these same routes for our pleasure. Everyone who sets out to use these “wild” paths and trails should be aware that they are trespassing on Nature’s roadways. And there may be consequences for that.
We can only share these wildlife routes, we cannot dictate them. Bring your snakebite kits, make lots of noise, and don’t ever stop and act like a prey animal. You won’t like the the result otherwise, and you won’t have an excuse.
What a bunch of hypocrites. At the same time they do this, Gates King industrial project is starting, with their approvals right in the middle of the wild life corridor.It takes down a ridge line in violation of of ridgeline ordinance which the council members never see fit to enforce and allows destruction of 1400 hundred oaks, the most oak removals ever approved in this valley. The same smiling council people approved this horrible project right east of the one they are cutting the ribbon for. All those trees lost at a time when climate issues require more trees not less. For an industrial project with no limits on air pollution. You’ve just got to love and admire our city council! They are the best that money can buy.
