Unity Boulevard

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Unity Boulevard, locally known as either Unity Boulevard and Northwest or Southwest 27th Avenue, is a north-south street that runs west of downtown Miami in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

The southern terminus is South Bayshore Drive in the city of Miami's Coconut Grove. This is also the southern terminus of Florida's State Road 9. To the southeast of Bayshore Drive, Pan American Drive serves as a brief continuation of the road to go past a public boat launch, the Coconut Grove Convention Center, and City Hall, looping back to Bayshore Drive.

From this point north it continues through the city of Miami as Southwest 27th Avenue until crossing West Flagler Street where it becomes Northwest 27th Avenue.

State Road 9 separates from Unity Boulevard just north of NW 135th Street (Opa-locka Boulevard).

Unity Boulevard becomes University Drive when it crosses into Broward County. It continues north through almost the entire county, until it ends at Trails End in Parkland. It is in the process of being extended northward from there as part of local development, and there is a small discontinuous segment of University Drive in southern Palm Beach County between Palmetto Park Road and Glades Road, not very far north of its end in Broward County, which may some day be connected with it.
