I think it is important to consider animals when designing our roadways because they are important. We need over and under crossings for the animals. First, I will talk about my piece of art. Second, I will talk about how it is important to consider animals when designing our roadways. I think animals deserve to live and breath with us. From plants to animals to every living thing.

My art work shows how I-90 should look when its done. My art shows were we should put over and under crossings. In real life if we don’t put in animal crossings then they will get hit by a car. My art has a baby cub walking to his mom on the other side. My art has four bunnies eating grass and not on the road.

If someone hits an animal it is taking a life away. No one wants to take a life away. Every thing has a right to life. It hurts to hit an animal. Not just the animal but the person. People hate to see a dead animal on the road.

We can make a differents by making over and under crossings. If we don’t more and more animals will die because of cars. Every animal has a huge right to live. We need animals on earth. Do we want to live alone?
 

The animals of Interstate 90 don’t deserve to die. They don’t have to either! I will explain in greater detail when I write about my art work. Also, I will tell you my ideas on how and when we could start raising money for the unfunded part of the project. Many people ask, how do animals know when to cross the road? Well, they don’t. That’s the sad truth, but that’s what we trying to fix.

From bears to fish, every animal wants to find a safer way to get past I-90. My idea is that the rode would be raised and there would be a tunnel underneath. In the tunnel, there is dirt, rocks, patches of grass, and a stream for fish. Its just for land animals. Some of the animals you may find are deer, elk, raccoons, fish, frogs, bears, turtles, rabgits, and other various animals. Tunnel or not, I just want the animals to be safe.

Money has been short, so there should be fundraisers to help with that. The best times to have one is around Christmas and Valentines day. This is because everyone wants to get gifts. Christmas is a good time to sell rapping paper. You could make everything animal themed. Also, at a ski place down at Snoqualmie there could be an event where a percent of the profits go to the unfunded part of the project. That's what I think is a good way to raise money.

As you already know, animals are very important. So a tunnel under the highway for animals. Fundraisers would be important too. Today I saw a dead animal and its not pretty. We all want to stop that. I believe that animals are just as important as humans: We should treat them equal.

One of the most important things to consider when building roadways is animals. This is important for several reasons. For one, it affects not only the animals but us too. For instance, if someone hits a large animal on the road such as a deer it will probably get injured or killed but the driver of the car will most likely get hurt too. Another reason is when we build roadways in the wilderness we are invading their habitat. This will cause animals to move which usually involves crossing roads, which is where most accidents occur. When cars drive off roads next to water the gasoline and oil from them pollutes the water which can kill fish. If roadways are built near water they may be blocking access to streams that the fish need to get to. When building roadways it is very important to consider animals.

I was hiking in the Cascade Mountains. Suddenly I came upon a dark, silky, brown bobcat. I decided to follow him. I had to tiptoe, sneak, and creep so I didn't terrify him.

The first place he went was to a blue, clear, pure pond. He started fishing with his clawy, tough, muscular paw. He took a tiny sip of water and friskily pounced and jumped over a fresh, clear stream. Suddenly he halted with I-90 standing right in front of him. He looked at the bustling road strangely.

He heard cars whizzing, honking, screeching and music. He felt the dewy, fresh healthy grass. He smelled gas and garbage. He was wondering if he should cross the road or not. He saw a strong wooden fence on both sides so he wouldn't fall. It looked safe.

He started up the hill heading to the passage. He walked slowly and quietly. Suddenly he stopped, looked both ways, then down at the smelly, colorful, whizzing, screeching cars. He took 3 more steps and took off. He made is across safely!

An animal’s safety is just as important as ours. If we don’t consider their safety, both the driver and the animal are in danger. Some people think making roads safe for animals is a waste of money. Those people don’t realize that animal-safe roads could actually save them money on repair bills for their car. Animals could give the same amount of damage to the car that the car gave to them. I think animal-safe roads are a good idea. They will help prevent car crashes and animal injuries. Animals such as the cougar, elk, and deer could cause serious damage to your car and cars around you. Your car could become out of control. Other cars would have to salmon their brakes or swerve out of our way. Large and small animals alike could both cause car crashes when hit. Some animals could become extinct just by trying to cross the road. Watch out for animals while driving. They don’t look both ways.

We should include animals in our project so they don’t get killed or people don’t get killed. Deer, elk, fish, bears, and bugs need to live so we can live. Bridges and overpasses are good ideas to build.

Protecting our animals is really important for many reasons. I will tell you why I think we should consider animals in designing roadways like on Interstate 90 near Snoqualmie Pass. In my first paragraph I will explain my attached artwork. In the paragraph after that I will describe why I think its important to consider animals. Animals are important to us and everything else in our interdependent ecosystem.

I used the basic idea of a landbridge with a twist. Half of the landbridge is forest with animals like bears, elk, and foxes. The other half is grassland with rabbits and other small rodents. Right in the center I made a fishladder with salmon and other fish leaping up and down.

To me helping animals cross roads safely is really important. Roads and freeways can hurt or even kill animals. One way they can do that is blocking migration paths. Weaker animals (like young or old ones) can die of starvation or of cold because they couldn’t migrate south. Another way we could hurt or kill animals is running into or over them. Deer, bears, raccoons, squirrels and rabbits alike can be hurt or killed by cars. Some species can become endangered or even extinct. Humans have crosswalks to cross roads safely, why shouldn’t animals have some too?

Animals are really important to everything in the world. My artwork is a design to help all animals cross the road safely and in comfort. My writing was driven by my want to help all animals and my sadness about death. Humans and animals should be safe in the world. Animals haven’t done anything to us, so why should we hurt them?

Have you ever been on Interstate 90? Of course you have! If you’ve been in Washington you’ve probably been on I-90. And as you might know, isn’t a very safe place for us, and for the animals that live on either side of it. The animals need ways to get to the other side of the road, but it is very hard to do that with all those cars in the way. As you read this paper you will soon see how we can let the animals cross, without all the car crashes, hurt or trapped animals, and people and their cars getting hurt or damaged.

In my drawing my focus was to have a bridge over the road for animals to cross. The cars drive under the bridge in a short tunnel. This way, we could avoid any more people-animal collisions. I drew some of the basic animals that like in that area, like moose and bears. We could plant trees, bushes, and flowers to attract the animals. If we try our best, we can prevent more accidents.

I think it is important to consider animals when designing our roadways for a number of reasons. First of all animals have feelings too! But since they’re animals they just can’t express it. Also, they are part of our ecosystem and if they are gone it will affect everybody. And if they are gone, we won’t be able to enjoy the scenery of them. If we are careful we can preserve our animals.

To recap, animals are an important part of our ecosystem. If we make sure we don’t do anything wrong and just let them be, the animals will last a long time. I think we should build bridges over the highways and plant things to attract the animals. We need to keep them safe because they didn’t do anything to us! Animals deserve a life too!

I was hiking in the tall, rugged Cascade Mountains when I came across a tan-colored baby cougar running around in the soggy, green grass. I turned my head to the right as I saw the baby cougar getting closer and closer to an extremely busy concrete road to get a sip of fresh, clear, sparkling water. I realized that the infant had to go across the wild highway to get to the water. How horrible it would be to see a baby animal get hit by a car or left in the road to die. But before it went across I saw an overpass with a stiff and sturdy fence right about where the cougar could take a change at falling into the road. The small animal zipped over the grassy trail on the overpass, got a sip of water and came from the underpass by a stream with lots of fish and small amphibians,. I thought that it was a great idea to include the under and overpass and to think of the animals when building the highway.

It is very important to consider animals when building roadways. I will be sharing my thought of what I-90 could look like. I will also be sharing why we should include animals when building I-90. I will also be discussing my major points to be made. I will be discussing what could happen to the animals. Next I’ll be describe my idée for what I-90 could look like.

Now I’ll explain my design for I-90. My design shows I-90 lifted up off the ground by large columns. A river runs under the highway. There is a forest of newly planted trees. The forest is full of animals.

I-90 goes through a tunnel. On the tunnel there are trees and animals on top. That is my design for I-90.

If our highways are safer there will be less animal deaths. The more animals that are dead, there won’t be very good scenery. If animals feel safe getting across I-90 they’ll be comfortable having a road in the habitat. With more animals it seems more natural. That is why we need more living animals.

Everything I talked about are very important when re-building I-90. I shared my design for I-90. I talked about why we need animals alive. I told you why animals need to feel safe when crossing I-90. Also you heard why its important to include animals when building roads. Thank you for reading my essay about re-building I-90.
