 We
all want neighborhoods that are safe and healthy places to live
and raise our children. We all want nature close by—trees, gardens,
parks, and wild places where we can play. And we all want neighbors
who have more than a zip code in common with us, who share our values
and will work with us to protect what we love—our homes and family.
By protecting special nearby places in nature, such as the Snoqualmie
River Valley, we will safeguard our local source of drinking water,
wildlife corridors, and areas for you to hike, camp, hunt, and fish.
As part of Sierra Club's Building Environmental Communities campaign
we are working to make I-90 safer for motorists and wildlife. The
Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) is preparing to
upgrade the 15-mile stretch of the I-90 corridor between Hyak and
Easton.
This section of busy freeway bisects an area that biologists have
long recognized as a critical connective link in the north-south
movement of wildlife in the Cascade Range. By lengthening bridges
over creeks and creating wildlife overpasses WSDOT can facilitate
passage of animals such as deer, elk, cougar, fox, amphibians, and
native trout over or under the road. To take action, click
here.
There is a better way. Planning for crossing structures from the
start is smart and cost effective, and provides a high level of
connectivity for all species.
