University Dr, Coral Gables

University Drive is in Coral Gables, which means that it's pretty, shady, neat, and boring, e.g. just like every other residential street in Coral Gables. Oddly for Coral Gables, you can often get away with parking on the side of the road next to the library. The library is useful to many outside of Coral Gables, because it's a Miami-Dade Library, and therefore provides Miami residents with the same level of service that Coral Gables residents get. This must drive the Coral Gables city commissioners nuts.

University Drive north of Bird Road is useful for getting directly to the Youth Center and the Coral Gables Library, and getting anywhere in the Gables directly is indeed a useful thing. One place that this University Drive will not get you is the University (of Miami). It will get you to University Park, which, as you may have guessed, is also nowhere near the University. You can use Bird Road to get to the University Drive that goes to the University, but, of course, it is not connected to the University Drive that leads to University Park.

Coral Gables does this sort of thing on purpose.
