I don't think we'll see a Metrorail line down Coral Way though. The amount of demolition that would have to occur to make that possible would be immense.

I still believe placing a Metrorail along Coral Way is still a possibility because all you have to do is use the median and place stations along the following streets:
- Le Jeune Rd (Coral Gables)
- Douglas Rd
- SW 32nd Ave
- SW 27th Ave
- SW 22nd Ave
- SW 17th Ave
- SW 12th Ave / SW 3rd Ave
I understand the demolition concerns but I'm pretty sure if a line was placed along Coral Way, it would probably be a few houses and the area along Coral Way would have to be forced to support TODs (transit oriented development), and as for the line, I'd place it along I-95 and have it go all the way to Gov't Center, then possibly to points as far as Miami Beach and Aventura.
