Have you ever heard of a wildlife overpass? I spoke with Doug Nintzel, the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) spokesman, about the new wildlife overpass. He told me that a wildlife overpass is a large bridge that goes over highways to help prevent crashes involving wildlife. The overpass will be on I-17, twelve miles south of Flagstaff, at milepost 327.4. The overpass will be 100 feet wide and will be covered in native vegetation; this will help it blend in with nature. It will have 8-foot tall fencing for about 8 miles, this will help direct the animals.
In honor of Juneteenth, The Drawing Studio is set to unveil a powerful and historic art expo featuring 100 local Pan-African artists, the first of its kind in Arizona and the only official event in Tucson on Juneteenth. Staged in our second building and curated by acclaimed artist and educator Randiesia Fletcher, M.Ed of Living2Portraits Art Studio, the exhibit features more than 100 original pieces of painting, sculpture, and mixed media from 100 artists across Arizona.
