Davis' '''Toad Tunnel''' is a [[wildlife crossing]] that was constructed in 1995 and has drawn much attention over the years, including a mention on ''[[The Daily Show]]''. Due to the construction of an overpass, animal lovers worried about [[toad]]s being killed by cars commuting from South Davis to North Davis, since the toads traveled from one side of a dirt lot (which the overpass replaced) to the reservoir at the other end. After much controversy, a decision was made to build a toad tunnel, which runs beneath the Pole Line Road overpass which crosses [[Interstate 80 (California)|Interstate 80]]. The project cost $14,000, {{Inflation|US|14000|1995|fmt=eq|r=-3}}.{{Inflation/fn|US}} The tunnel is {{convert|21|in|cm}} wide and {{convert|18|in|cm}} high.
