I’ve noticed this too along River Watch.
Glad to hear that Dr. Malik is addressing this and has a plan.
God save the turtles!
…and then there are the drivers who are too distracted to notice and avoid them or run them over on purpose.
I passed a massive snapping turtle during masters week headed north, it was not far from a deceased friend of similar size. Thank god steps are being taken.
It shouldn’t be a surprise, really. The center concrete wall traps them in traffic if they try to cross Riverwatch.
I would bet it’s the lights. If this parkway was built with wildlife in mind, there would be openings at ground level every 30 feet instead of the plethora of decorative lights. During ocean turtle egg-laying season on beaches people are required to turn off lights so they won’t get confused.
Ah – you’re right. All those lights have to add to the confusion. And there are sooooo many of them.
A good story make me think of soup!
