In southern Luzerne County, Pa., the presently two-lane Route 93 will soon be a three-lane superhighway. Wildlife alreayd finds life within a mile of this highway to be rough going. Squirrels, woodchucks, raccoons, white-tailed der, American robins, grackels, wild turkey and all manner of smaller terrestrial critters are hammered on this highway and few motorists seem to realize the toll, much less their role in it.Ensuring high quality wildlife and fish passage options – both underpasses and overpasses - is not part of the plan, of course. Nearly all of Pennsylvania is roaded beyond belief and even the average state park here is a trap for wildlife.
