about the planned environmental buffer,
which he said would provide a route for wild-
life along the edge of the development. That
corridor, however, dead-ends at the new bou-
levard planned for Fruitville Road. Matthews
said wildlife will need a way to cross the
boulevard.
A wildlife underpass or overpass would
be an expensive endeavor, planning offi-
cials responded.
Matthews then suggested widening a strip of
cleared land that runs beside a canal under
the road. "Broaden that with some greenway
on the side."
Matthews said some wildlife would use such a
crossing, typically late at night or early in the
morning. "Otherwise, they will get squashed
on the roadway," he pointed out. %
