[edit] Extreme numbered streets and avenues in Miami-Dade County
An interesting little "factlet" (not "factoid" because this bit of trivia is indeed a fact) is that Miami-Dade County has some of the highest numbered streets in the United States (if this is not true, please let us know!). Miami streets and avenues follow a grid pattern: the meeting point is Miami Avenue and Flagler Street in the heart of downtown Miami. This divides the city into four quadrants: NE, NW, SE, SW. Most, but not all of the towns and communities in Miami-Dade County conform to this street numbering system. After carefully scanning maps I found a SW 297th Ave. and also a street as far south as 424th St. However, the most remote intersection I could find was SW 217th Ave. and 400th St. The northernmost street I could find is NE 212th St. If anyone has additional information, please post a comment. 69.139.182.222 05:54, 17 January 2007 (UTC)buddmar
- It seems there may be a few places like that. For instance Gainesville, Florida, on googlemaps shows streets going as far west as SW 298th and over 200s going east for most of Alachua County, Florida. I don't know of any that go as far as in the 400s like Dade County does. Perhaps other cities in other States? - Marc Averette 14:40, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
