FDOT meeting disappoints attendees looking to save tree and hex pavers

The sidewalk in front of the Hoyt House bed and breakfast is being damaged by the roots of a tree and has been closed by the Florida Department of Transportation. The department plans to remove the hexagonal pavers that make up the sidewalk and replace them with concrete, while local residents want the pavers to be preserved.
