PARK CITY, Utah—Two reflective deer silhouettes were installed over the weekend along SR 248 (Kearns Boulevard) to raise driver awareness of wildlife crossings. These follow the installation of moose along SR 224 in 2023.
The silhouettes aim to alert motorists to the frequent movement of wildlife across this busy roadway, enhancing safety for both animals and people. The location, near the transition from open space to suburban neighborhoods, is a critical corridor for wildlife attracted by available habitat, food sources and a nearby waterway.
