A family member hit a deer in that same area a couple years ago. But that area has a pretty high likelihood of seeing deer anytime of the day. People have to keep alert!

That is a known deer crossing. I have seen deer on many ocassions crossing Bank Street just outside the City Limits sign either going to or coming from Hawley's cornfield to the patch of woods to the West.
