An ongoing project to create a wildlife crossing and trail along Highway 17, between Santa Cruz and San Jose is getting a $2 million dollar boost. The project, started by Midpeninsula Regional Open Space, will create many benefits for both wildlife and people connecting crossing for wildlife and trails for hikers. Aaron Peth, Planner III for Midpeninsula Regional Open Space said, “It’s really been spawned by the fact that this location on Highway Seventeen is a hot spot for these collisions between wildlife and wildlife and cars. Also, for events like we saw with this CZU fire last summer, allowing animals to have a place where they can escape an event like that, if it so happens on one side of the highway or the other.” The project is planned for North of the Lexington Reservoir, which is just south of the town Los Gatos on Highway 17.It’ll connect more than 30,000 acres in the Santa Cruz Mountains and mountain lions are one of the project s most important populations.
