Southwest 40th St
"A real Miami Street"
This is a street that lets you know that you are in Miami right away. Things that you see will reflect the years and phases that the city has gone through. Small houses with street access have become medical offices and dental offices. Real estate agents use the small building similarly. This is also one of the first streets that ties the 826 to US1, which makes it a very busy street. Traffic can sometimes be a problem since there are still trains that utilize the tracks that cross the street. Just be prepared to see one of a kind shops and restaurants that line this Miami Street.
East West Expy
"The Dolphin Expressway"
With the exception that from the 826 you have to travel east just to get off the highway and go back west, this highway is a step up from the palmetto expressway. You just have to expect the delay that seems completely unjustified in the eastbound lanes right before the red road exit. This is the fastest way to the beach and the airport from south miami and the kendall area. Just make sure that you have you sunpass handy or the wait for the cash lines at the toll plaza will set you back.
Southwest 116th Ave
"Typical Miami Street"
This place is my shortcut to get to work in a hurry. It is usually pretty reliable when it comes to consistency. It is full of little eateries that make for great local fare and there is pretty good shopping close by. The street serves more as a scenic route for people familiar with the area but it is still a good escape from the traffic riddled main streets the cross the city.
South Red Rd
""Two lane main street""
I used to have to take this street from Sunset Place all the way to the airport for work. It has mean commuter traffic in the morning and in the evening. Be careful in the summer the drainage for this street doesn't seem to be adequate. It flood pretty bad and makes people drive pretty crazy. Other than that this street offers a little of everything. It has the old miami feel once you get to calle ocho it has endless small shops offering all kinds of wares.
Southwest 49th Ave
"US1's little brother"
This is the best kept secret in Coral Gables, Fl. Ponce extends north and south past the University of Miami and the east and west into the heart of Coral Gables. It is home to many shops, stores, and most of all restaurants. You can any type of food traveling up and down Ponce. Just be prepared to wait for parking!
