DTE project part of area’s over-development

Dear Editor:
Recently I was shocked and saddened by the sight of a total destruction of a large tract of trees that lined the driveway leading into DTE Music Theatre.
They cal lit a development but in reality it’s the destruction of a natural area to be replaced by concrete and asphault. There was a comment in your paper made last week that someone said we need to save our greenery with plans that other communities have adopted (‘Save natural areas for future generations,? page 6A, Oct. 18 edition).
Independence Township needs to do this now before we turn our country-like area into a suburb. My wife and I moved out here more than 20 years ago to escape the suburban sprawl and now sadly for us it’s happening here.
