Short Description of Activity
Ecosystem Connectivity Mitigation (EMAC) meeting. Committee comprised of representatives from PNF, Yavapai County Development Services, AZ Game and Fish, ADOT Northwest District, and three private citizens including JD Greenburg who worked to get this committee established along with Broads, Sierra Club, Audobon, and others.
Reflection/Evaluation
review, discussion and possible action to join the Statewide wildlife-vehicle mitigation plan. Review of HIghway 69 Widening design kickoff meeting and first draft of plans. Plans include wildlife corridor under the highway using current culvert – and funneling wildlife through. Discussion of how we can get new culvert under highway – funds – this is part of City of Prescott Circle Trail and probably future Sun Corridor Trail. ,CYMPO will ask to see possible costs of new under-highway culvert – taller, wider and lighted. And much, much more. Broads and Sierra club will have the opportunity to comment later in the process.
