Gables’ palm trees gone

I am surprised that the city of Coral Gables would uproot palm trees that were planted just a few years ago on both circles at the junction of Segovia with Biltmore Way and with Coral Way, replacing them with sculptures.

Even the most beautiful sculpture cannot hold its own against palm trees. Most of my neighbors agree. Am I missing something?
