Fremont County, Idaho voters vote no to wildlife crossings. The $30.5 million project proposed by Idaho Transportation Department was an advisory item on the ballots with only a yes or no vote required.
County commissioners now have a finger on the pulse of the public and can use that information going forward. Residents and politicians in the area cited multiple reasons on the no vote, including public access and property values. Are wildlife crossings a good idea if they interfere with scenic views and public access?
