Deputy Chief Chris Doyle says it’s common to see bears on the side of roadways in the spring, feeding on the plants there.

He says slowing down or stopping to watch bears can create a lot of problems.

Doyle also says never approach or feed bears, and to dispose of any materials you may own that will attract bears.
