Commissioner Strickland says Southwestern Wilds will handle SR-160 mustang and burro collisions
Summary
During the March 10 PPLAC meeting, committee members discussed reducing motor-vehicle collisions with mustangs and burros along north SR-160. Commissioner Strickland stated that Southwestern Wilds will take responsibility for the work; no formal motion or follow-up timeline was recorded.
The committee discussed steps to reduce or eliminate collisions between motor vehicles and mustangs and burros along north SR-160. Commissioner Strickland told the group that responding to that issue "will be the job of Southwestern Wilds."
Why it matters: Collisions with free-roaming equids present safety risks to drivers and animals; identifying a responsible organization or contractor is a first step toward mitigation but does not substitute for a formal plan or funding.
No vote or timeline was recorded in the minutes. The committee noted the issue for possible future action and indicated Southwestern Wilds would be the party to address the operational response, per Commissioner Strickland's statement.
