A deer does a little self-cleaning in North Vancouver's Roche Point Park. The District of North Vancouver recently put up a new warning sign after a fawn was struck and killed near Dollarton Highway.

Dear Editor:

I would like to send a thank you to the District Of North Vancouver’s engineering department.

Sadly, last Friday a fawn was hit and killed on Dollarton Highway. The bushes at the entrance to Ravenwoods/Seymour Village are regularly cut, making for a bounty of blackberries right now, and it is where you can often find mom and her fawns.

I emailed the district requesting a satellite sign warning drivers of the amplified deer crossing right now, and they responded this morning with a sign warning drivers to “Watch Your Speed, Deer Crossing.”

It's nice to know there are real people with big hearts answering our emails.

Thank you district!
