"It's something we should have considered years ago. I think they're invaluable," Painter said in an interview."I think is one of the highest animal collision areas in the province. I was at a meeting out of town recently and I almost got one there," Painter said in an interview. The section of the TransCanada inside Banff National Park is lined on either side with 2.4-metre-high, reinforced wire fences. There are six wildlife overpasses and 38 underpasses to protect humans and animals.
"With larger animals, deer, elk, moose you're often hitting their legs out from under them and then they're coming up on to the windshield or the roof of the car and it does not end well for people and for wildlife," he said. Canmore Mayor Sean Krausert said it’s welcome infrastructure given how common it is to see herds of elk crossing the highway, but said he also wants to ensure it doesn’t harm the ability of the wildlife to find their way across the Bow Valley.
