Tree clearing along I-94 worries residents; MDOT says it’s part of project, replanting plan

Residents along Interstate 94 have raised concerns over tree clearing as part of the Michigan Department of Transportation's Restore 94 project, which involves rebuilding and realigning the freeway from I-275 to Michigan Avenue. MDOT has cleared trees to enhance safety and plans to plant 3,000 replacement trees to absorb emissions and noise, while considering wildlife displacement, particularly deer.
