A curious moose roams the sidewalks near The Park Record in this photo taken in the summer of 2014. The Wasatch Back chapter of the Sierra Club will present “Why Did the Moose Cross the Road? Making Highway Crossings Safer for All” by Patty Cramer, an ecologist who researches wildlife crossings on Utah's highways. The event will be held at the Swaner EcoCenter on March 22. By SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record “A deer in the headlights” is not a cliche in Utah, because a major driving hazard in the Beehive State is wildlife. There were 2,931 reported animal and automobile collisions on Utah roads in 2014, according to a report compiled by the Utah Department of Public Safety, Utah High Way Safety and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. More than, 2,400 of those incidents involved hitting a wild animal. On Feb. 6, a one-mile stretch of east and westbound Interstate 80 lanes were closed at Lambs Canyon so Department of Wildlife resources could herd a dozen elk and a cow moose to escape routes across the freeway. While there are many other incidents that go unreported, the Utah Department of Transportation is doing something about it. It has contracted ecologist and researcher Patty Cramer to study wildlife and highway crossings in Utah for more than a decade. The public is invited to hear Cramer’s findings when Cramer presents “Why Did the Moose Cross the Road? Making Highway Crossings Safer for All,” presented by the Wasatch Back chapter of the Sierra Club, from 6:30-8 p.m. on Wednesday, March 22, at the Swaner EcoCenter. Cramer began working with UDOT to examine effectiveness, design and locations for wildlife crossings, said Marion Klaus, of the Wasatch Back chapter of the Sierra Club. “Patty has been documenting her results, which I found interesting, and I believe we’ll see some of them during her presentation,” Klaus said. “She has a number of motion-sensor cameras set up around the state, and tries to figure out where to put the crossings.” Cramer also finds if the wildlife use these crossings and if the crossings work within the animals’ migration behaviors. In 2015, she was named the Utah Department of Transportation’s 2015 Trailblazer of the Year for her work. “I’ve helped her gather information at Lambs Canyon and the Echo Reservoir area to monitor the effectiveness of underpasses that the wildlife use to cross the highways,” Klaus said. “The goal of these crossings is to reduce traffic incidents and steer the animals away from residential areas. It’s not a good thing to hit a moose.” Assisting Cramer has been eye-open- Please see Sierra, C-3 A look back at locomotive history Discussion will focus on photos by Dick Steinheimer By SCOTT IWASAKI The Park Record Researcher and historian David Nicholas has a love for trains that stems from his childhood in New Jersey. He grew up next to railroad tracks that cut right through his grandparents’ property and came within 30 feet of their home. “I have fond memories of walking along the tracks and waving at the engineers,” Nicholas said during an interview with The Park Record The Park City Museum researcher and contributing writer to its Way We Were column that runs in The Park Record will share his locomotion admiration when he presents a free visual lecture called “Dick Steinheimer’s Train Adventure” from 5-6 p.m. on Monday, March 20, at the Park City Museum, 528 Main St. The presentation will cover the late and renowned train photographer Richard Steinheimer and the pictures he otook in the winter of 1953 when he traveled from Ogden to Park City. “I will talk about Dick’s photos, but also a little bit about his life,” Nicholas said. “I will go through all the pictures I have that Dick took on that journey.” Nicholas said he will discuss between 25 and 30 photographs that are part of the Shirley Burman Collection. “Shirley is Dick’s widow,” he said. “I got in touch with her a few years ago and we struck up a correspondence.” Nicholas got in touch with Burman through his subscriptions to Trains and Classic Trains magazines. “Dick’s work has been frequently Please see Lecture, C-4 RICHARD STEINHEIMER The late train photographer Richard Steinheimer took this photo of a Union Pacific steam engine coming around a curve between the Silver King Coalition terminal building and Union Pacific Depot when he arrived in Park City in 1953.

Researcher David Nicholas will show this and other photographs when he gives a lecture titled “Dick Steinheimer’s Train Adventure” at the Park City Museum on Monday. |
