Oh my God. I live in Pinecrest off Ludlam and 104 and I LOVE the Miami Grid. I have ALWAYS wanted to see Miami Sim-City-fied, and I am enjoying this CJ VERY MUCH! I wonder if you have ever noticed some of the interesting things about the Miami number system and major streets and avenues? One thing is how in most cases, the major streets go by 16's. Lets stars at Flagler St, which I am sure you know divides South and North. If you start at Flagler ST work you way south you start with SW 8th ST, the first major street, then Coral Way, SW 24 ST, which is 8+16 = 24. Then the next one is Bird RD, SW 40 ST. Then Miller DR, SW 56 ST, then Sunset DR SW 72 ST, then Kendall DR, SW 88th, and so on. And this goes on until very far south until the Homestead numbers start. The same thing applies further north, but with less consistency. After NW 20 ST , they start going by 16's too. 20, 36, 54, east of Miami River. After that, Hialeah starts messing the numbers up with their own numbers.

The Avenues do something similar but with 10's. Most major avenues end with 7, and go by 10's Starting far west, the major avenues for the SW are 147, 137, 127, 117 (right along the Turnpike), 107, 97, 87 (Galloway), (SR-826 is right where 77th Avenue should be), 67 (Ludlum), 57 (Miller), 47 (Ponce De Leon; here Coral Gables kind of messes the grid up), 37 (Douglas), 27 (Unity BLVD), 17, and finally 7th Avenue. There are other major ones, but there is a pattern to that too. Most of the other major avenues that don't end in 7, end with 2. For example, SW 12 Ave is major, and it is between 17 and 7. SW 22 AVE, SW 112 AVE, SW 122 AVE. These Avenues are major ones. And even driving through a suburb like Pinecrest, the same system still applies, but the streets go by fours with every major intesection. The major Avenues are 7's and 2's and the major streets go by 4's, which is a fourth of 16.

I have always been fascinated with Miami city planning and ease of use when finding directions, and I CAN NOT WAIT for more updates! THANK YOU!

Personally, I live in the area that in unicorperated Miami-Dade County... over west of FIU. I have lived in Miami my entire life and really look forward to any updates...

The numbering thing is pretty interesting, but it has its exceptions... Coral Way becomes 26st, Bird also becomes 42nd, and there are those curved roads that confuse everything, but the city is still set up in large squares...

I've lived in Miami all my life. I can't wait to see your version of Calle Ocho and Downtown. I'd also like to see how you do Overtown, Liberty City, and Little Haiti. By the way, that's true about the 16's, and about the 7's and the 2's. It should be good...
