About the event

The Florida Department of Environmental Transportation (FDOT) is proposing to remove the iconic trees on the corner of Atlantic Blvd and 8th Street to replace the sidewalk where there are current tripping hazards. They are replacing the current historic hexagonal pavers that stretch from 8th Street down to 10th street with a standard street sidewalk which requires digging down for its foundation and affecting the historic tree’s roots on the corner at the stoplight. Their solution of course is to take them down.

Now is the time to mobilize to protect the ambience of our City. We are counting on you to be there with us. We will gather on Saturday afternoon, September 2nd, at Story and Song at 3:00 pm. These trees are majestic trees and the heartbeat of our City. They are the welcome that sets our City apart from 'anywhere' America.

These specimen trees have over 125 years…
