A new study suggests the animal overpasses in Banff National Park aren't working. Research by the University of Calgary shows the overpasses don't help the animals that really need it. Parks Canada spent millions building special animal overpasses and underpasses so animals could cross the highway safely. Roadkill numbers are down and deer and elk use them regularly. But U of C researchers say bears and wolves are not using them and are still getting hit.
