Oak Tree at Dave's Last Resort will die on chopping block

Big shade tree faces chopping block in downtown Lake Worth Beach

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.

The tree’s expanding root system is buckling pavers on the sidewalk and spreading beneath Dave’s Last Resort & Raw Bar at 632 Lake Ave., creating a safety hazard for pedestrians and threatening the building’s plumbing, city officials say.

What does Obamacare have to do with the tree? There's probably a way to keep the tree, but you would have to have the right people.
