Laravel 9: One route auto-adding '/public/' to the URL

Question

I'm running a website with Laravel 9. All my routes are mapping correctly, but one of them ("https://example.com/resources") inexplicably keeps adding "/public/" to the page's URL (e.g. "https://example.com/public/resources").

The page runs fine, but I obviously don't want "/public" in there.

All the pages with child URLs work without the "public" directory (e.g. "https://example.com/resources/locations"). I can't figure out why "public" keeps getting added to the "/resources" URL and only to that one.

I have run php artisan route:list with the following result:

  GET|HEAD   / ............................................................................................................ home

  GET|HEAD   sanctum/csrf-cookie ............................. sanctum.csrf-cookie › Laravel\Sanctum › CsrfCookieController@show

Here is the group code from my web.php file:

Route::group(['prefix' => 'resources'], function() {
    Route::get('/', function() {
        return view('resources.index');
    })->name('resources-index');

    Route::get('locations', function() {
        return view('resources.locations');
    })->name('resources-locations');
    ...
}

My webserver is Apache v2.4.29 (Ubuntu)

The routing works fine locally using php artisan serve. It is only on the server where this is occurring.

From what I can determine, my folder is the same name as the "resources" folder in Laravel. So even though it's a specified View, Laravel defaults to add "/public" to specify the difference.
