Trees Along Other Sections of Biscayne Boulevard Are Spared
Other areas of Biscayne Boulevard are also under renovation. These full-grown royal palm trees were left in place during the boulevard renovation
project. Both the street and sidewalks were removed and heavy equipment is clearly visible. Yes, these palms were clearly "in the way" but
alas, they were not removed. Our findings? Unless they reside in the Upper Eastside, full-grown royals can survive the boulevard renovation
project. Read the appointed FDOT Design Partner's "A Decade of Planning" for more insight.

Confused? Ask Mayor Diaz or Commissioner Sarnoff exactly why royal palms not located in the Upper Eastside can survive construction.
