The Coral Gables Trolley System and Pedestrian Resources | |
Coral Gables has a bustling, pedestrian-friendly downtown commercial district. Most businesses in the city are located within two blocks of Ponce de Leon Boulevard, the main north-south corridor served by the Coral Gables Trolley. The modern trolley service, championed by Commissioner William H. Kerdyk, Jr., initiated service in November, 2003 and was more successful than anyone predicted. This improvement signaled a new golden age for pedestrians as the trolley enhanced the ability to get around town quickly and easily without the problems so often associated with traffic congestion and parking. New trolleys are designed to operate with modern efficiency even as they emulate the retrospective styling of their predecessors. The city currently operates 7 trolleys and plans are underway to increase the scope and frequency of trolley service in the future. On the First Friday of the month, the trolleys run until 10pm while pedestrians are enjoying the night life and entertainment in the vibrant downtown. The trolley also connects the pedestrian to the entire Metro-Dade Transit system at Douglas Station. The Coral Gables Trolley System is largely funded by the People's Transportation Plan, the transportation surtax in Miami-Dade County. For more information regarding the trolley, including hours of operation and holidays, please call: 305-460-5070. |
