Florida State Road 990
Florida State Road 990 is a 2.91 miles (4.68 km) long east–west road near Kendall. State Road 990 currently extends from an interchange between the Don Shula Expressway (SR 874) and SW 107th Avenue (SR 985) to South Dixie Highway (U.S. Route 1/SR 5). Locally known as SW 104th Street, Killian Parkway, Killian Drive, and SW 112th Street, State Road 990 provides access between Miami-Dade College – Kendall Campus and the communities along US Highway 1 (Pinecrest and Palmetto Bay). Between the termini, SR 990 is exclusively located within suburban housing developments, with the section on Killian Drive (South 112th Street) being much more wooded than the other part. This two-lane eastern stretch has been designated a historic drive by the Legislature of the State of Florida (the rest of SR 990 is four lane highway).

Famous quotes containing the words florida, state and/or road:
“In Florida consider the flamingo,
Its color passion but its neck a question.”
—Robert Penn Warren (1905–1989)
“A work in progress quickly becomes feral. It reverts to a wild state overnight. It is barely domesticated, a mustang on which you one day fastened a halter, but which now you cannot catch. It is a lion you cage in your study. As the work grows, it gets harder to control; it is a lion growing in strength. You must visit it every day and reassert your mastery over it. If you skip a day, you are, quite rightly, afraid to open the door to its room.”
—Annie Dillard (b. 1945)
“Dear common flower, that grow’st beside the way,
Fringing the dusty road with harmless gold,
First pledge of blithesome May,
Which children pluck, and, full of pride, uphold,
Hight-hearted buccaneers, o’erjoyed that they
An Eldorado in the grass have found,
Which not the rich earth’s ample round
May match in wealth—thou art more dear to me
Than all the prouder summer-blooms may be.”
—James Russell Lowell (1819–1891)
