I regularly commute between Burks Falls and Huntsville, and have, on numerous occasions, seen the result of animals hit by vehicles along Highway 11 between those 2 points, including evidence of 3 different collisions in the past 24 hours alone, at least 1 of which was serious enough that police had to be contacted and a tow-truck called for the vehicle.  I have also heard of collisions and frequent near-misses with moose between Burks Falls and Sundridge.  These unfortunate encounters result in unnecessary pain and death for our wildlife and potential injury or death to the drivers involved, as well as the damage to the vehicles, which often results in costly repairs or even needing to purchase a whole new vehicle.

In Alberta and B.C., and other places as well, wildlife fencing and wildlife under/overpasses have been shown to help prevent these deadly interactions, and trailcams along the passes have been popular with online viewers.  I am therefore calling on the MTO to extend the fencing that is already in place North of Sundridge further South, and build more throughfares.  The benefit to drivers and wildlife is clear, especially with the increased prevalence of moose in the area, and considering the ever-increasing transit of often young, inexperienced (and occasionally downright foolish,) drivers from the GTA to the area on weekends, interactions need to be limited, before somebody is seriously injured or killed.
