Intersection of Miracle Mile and Ponce de Leon Blvd.
Miracle Mile is a section of Coral Way between Douglas Road (West 37th Avenue) and LeJeune Road (West 42nd Avenue) in the city of Coral Gables, Florida, United States.[1] It is the main east-west road through the city's downtown central business district, having many shopping areas and restaurants.
Miracle Mile and the surrounding Downtown Coral Gables area is served indirectly by the Miami Metrorail by transferring from the Douglas Road station to the Coral Gables Trolley at the station. The trolley runs up and down Ponce de Leon Boulevard from Miracle Mile to the Metro.
History
The downtown commercial district, including Miracle Mile, was designed by George Merrick, who could boast that every business in Coral Gables was less than a two-block walk. The area was once serviced by a free trolley that ran down Ponce de Leon Boulevard, the main artery bisecting the business district. The old trolley system was replaced by the popularity of modern automobiles until a new free "trolley system" (busses with a "retro" trolly-like livery) was initiated in November 2003. Now, Coral Gables is known as a pedestrian-friendly destination[says who?].
