Barriers and various safe crossing structures can be built.
Ironically enough John the only 2 such crossing structures I have seen are both less than 5 miles from where this project is located. They are both on sr46 in lake county this inidgo shindig is located on sr44 in lake county. There is actually a fair amount of rural land that is only bisected by dirt roads (if you can call them that.) between the location of the project on sr44 and county route 42 which is the major road I am closest to. If you haven't figured it out yet this whole thing is pretty much in my backyard. They mention trying to build enclosures to keep the bears out in one of the articles. I hope they think hard about that one it sometimes blows my mind what bears are capable of breaking into and they seem to have a taste fro reptiles. I had one try to break into my courtyard to get at my tortoises and box turtles twice last year. That's not all that hard to do and the only thing that kept them out was one of my husky mixes who has a real hard on for taking down a bear. Some city guy moved 2 properties down from me last year and re-fenced it with 2x4 fencing which was rather expensive(and quite honestly not the best choice to fence in his whole property.) I don't think he had it up 3 days and a bear went through it like it was rice paper he has repeated the same thing several times. My favorite though was to see where a bear bent a steel pole to get a bird feeder mounted on top of it. He twisted it like a half of a pretzel.
