The thriving oak outside Dave's Last Resort is coming down Oct. 14 because its root system has created a public safety hazard, city officials say.A large shade tree in the heart of downtown Lake Worth Beach is destined for the chopping block early next week.
The mature live oak has been thriving on the sidewalk at the northeast corner of Lake Avenue and K Street since the Florida Department of Transportation planted it there in the mid-1990s. But in recent years, it’s been outgrowing its home.
