• Residents fight against construction project to cut down trees in Clawson (cbsnews.com) — Clawson residents are pushing back against a road reconstruction project that will remove mature street trees, saying city leaders ignored their concerns about safety, property values, and neighborhood character. City officials, including the manager and mayor, insist the tree removal is necessary to prevent storm damage and say native replacements will be planted, with work expected to start next week.
