Trees are piled up in an area of land that has been clear cut at the intersection of High Ridge Road and Wire Mill Road in Stamford, Conn. Thursday, March 18, 2021. The Department of Transportation cut down a parcel of trees to stage a bridge replacement for the High Ridge Road bridge over the Rippowam River. Residents argue it s an eyesore and an environmental misstep while the DOT says their strategy allows them to do the project quickly and with the best environmental strategy.Tyler Sizemore / Hearst Connecticut Media
