PARK CITY, Utah — The popular true-crime comedy podcast My Favorite Murder has recently focused on Utah's wildlife conservation efforts, specifically the Parley’s Summit animal crossing. This overpass has significantly reduced wildlife vehicle collisions, contributing to public safety. In episode 511 titled 'They’ll All Pay,' co-host Karen Kilgariff revisited a story from episode 369, which originally covered the 1857 Mountain Meadows Massacre. Kilgariff mentioned that the Parley overpass was previously discussed in episode 369, where it was noted that the overpass was constructed to prevent animals from being on the road. The wildlife crossing, located near Parley’s Summit, was developed through collaboration with Utah State University, the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, and transportation officials. Kilgariff shared updated statistics indicating a 77% reduction in wildlife vehicle collisions since the overpass was built. This reduction has resulted in a projected $15 million cost benefit over the bridge's lifetime. A standout statistic was that moose successfully crossed the overpass 100% of the time, which was highlighted by Kilgariff. The conversation surrounding the overpass resonated locally, especially as the hosts had recently performed live shows on September 26 and 27 at the Eccles Theater in downtown Salt Lake City. The hosts emphasized the importance of such wildlife crossings in enhancing safety for both animals and motorists.
