Have Your Say, Shelby Township and Utica

Here's what Patch readers had to say this week on Twitter and Facebook.

Here’s a rundown of what Shelby-Utica Patch readers had to say on Facebook, Twitter and articles this week.

  • On Facebook, Teresa Bianco said: “Wondering why they cut down so much stuff. What was the reasoning? Seems a little excessive.”
  • In the comments on the story, said: “In addition to the beauty that has been removed (they even took my Lilac bushes) is the protection the trees have served.”
  • said: “I feel homeowners should have been consulted and given the opportunity to protect their yards where practical. There is so much ugliness in the world, we should cherish the beauty we have.”
  • said: “It saddens and angers me that the beauty within Macomb County comes at such a cheap price.”


Favorite Summertime Activity at Stony Creek Metropark

  • On Twitter, @AmaDaetz said “@ShelbyUPatch Fit trail at SC is the best!”
  • On Facebook, John Michalski said his favorite pastime was “people watching,” and Teresa Bianco said it was “biking.”
  • In the comments, said she enjoyed the riding and running the trails at West Branch—The Sheldon Trails. “There are miles and miles of trails and you can choose "easier" or "difficult" courses,” Smith said. “They are clearly marked so you don't have to worry about getting lost. It's a great way to enjoy nature and stay in the shade a bit.”
