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).

“Such were the first rude beginnings of a town. They spoke of the practicability of a winter road to the Moosehead Carry, which would not cost much, and would connect them with steam and staging and all the busy world. I almost doubted if the lake would be there,—the self-same lake,—preserve its form and identity, when the shores should be cleared and settled; as if these lakes and streams which explorers report never awaited the advent of the citizen.”
