Build a Land Bridge for Pennsylvania citizens and wildlife!
The Issue
According to END ROADKILL Pennsylvania, PA is currently the 3rd worst states in terms of animal-related collisions. Currently, the END ROADKILL organization aims to raise money to help animals avoid streets and highways through conservation corridors. However, a recent development in San Antonio, TX offers an interesting new solution. There, the Robert L.B. Tobin Land Bridge was just finished, and it includes an incredible amount of utilization opportunities for wildlife and humans alike. These features include disabled persons accessibility, showcases of prominent native flora and fawna, and even a rainwater catchment system to irrigate the surrounding areas! The reason for this petition is to garner support for Pennsylvania's very own land bridge, and for it to be paid for with the money from President Biden's new infrastructure bill; The American Jobs Plan! This project is in the early stages, but with enough support from the citizens of PA it can become a reality! After the signature goal is reached, a logistical plan can begin to be presented to Governor Tom Wolf that would outline the details of the bridge. This bridge would be a great addition to connect the citizens of Pennsylvania to their native wildlife, as well as reduce roadkill and save lives! All support is appreciated, and for more information on roadkill in PA consider reading this article!
