Save the trees along Las Olas Boulevard | Letters to the editor

It was sickening to read the news articles about how the city of Fort Lauderdale may tear down the 16 olive trees in the median of Las Olas Boulevard.

These trees are iconic, and citizens and visitors enjoy them. They are lit up every holiday season, and every year posters are painted with them for the Las Olas Arts Festival.

Please stop chopping down our trees all over town. They serve as homes for hundreds of birds.

Shame on you, Mayor Dean Trantalis and city commissioners.
