North Boulder County Wildlife Crossings Project- US 36 between Boulder and Lyons

Boulder Unitarian Universalist Church 5001 Pennsylvania Ave, Boulder, CO 80303

Boulder County Open Space, along with our partner departments of Transportation and Public Works, is pursuing implementation of wildlife crossing structures on US Highway 36 between Boulder and Lyons, specifically between Left Hand Canyon and US Highway 66. There are several reasons for our formalized pursuit of wildlife crossings. Boulder County has been concerned about the safety of the public and the wildlife due to the high level of annual wildlife-vehicle collisions in this stretch. As the primary landowner of the adjacent lands along this stretch, Boulder County is ready to take the steps necessary to address this issue, to protect wildlife and our residents and visitors.
