User:Grossefuge/Douglas Road (Miami)

Also known as 37th Ave, Douglas Road is a north-south thoroughfare located in Miami, Florida. Douglas Road also forms part of the eastern boundary of Coral Gables. From its northern terminus at NW 28th St it begins as NW 37th Ave. Curving to the southeast along Palmer Lake Douglas Road then bends to the south at NW 25th St, continuing in this direction for the remainder of its track. It passes the International Links Miami-Melreese golf course south of NW 21st St, runs underneath State Highway 836 (the Dolphin Expressway) and the Flagler Greyhound Track south of NW 7th St. Further south as Douglas Rd crosses W Flagler St it becomes SW 37th Ave. At Ponce De Leon Blvd the road forms the northeastern boundary of Coral Gables, continuing this division between Miami and Coral Gables until it reaches the junction with Cocunut Grove Dr, immediately south of Coral Gables Hospital. SW 37th Ave crosses three major east-west thoroughfares: SW 8th St (also known as US 41), Coral Way (also known as SW 22nd St on the Miami side and Miracle Mile on the Coral Gables side) and Red Rd (also known as SW 40th St or State Highway 976). And about 840 feet south of Red Rd it crosses US 1. Continuing south Douglas Road briefly re-enters Coral Gables at the junction with N Prospect Dr, terminating at Edgewater Dr.

Throughout its route Douglas Rd passes a mixture of residential and commercial buildings. Other points of interest along the route include: Douglas Park (between SW 27th and 28th Sts on the east side), the Douglas Road Metro station (west side at US 1), Pine Cemetery (east side, between Frankin and Charles Avenues) and Sunrise Park (Coral Gables, west side near the southern terminus).
