Join us in the study of emerging data on the Corridor
Wildlife Crossings
FDOT ArcGIS Wildlife Crossings Link – From this site you can access details on the FDOT infrastructure that wildlife use to avoid roads. These include a variety of bridges and culverts, some of which were designed for wildlife, and others which serve as coincidental crossings. Many of these have photo archives with video and stills of wildlife using the crossings. Like this Bear crossing under SR29
