Location

Douglas Road station is a station on the Metrorail rapid transit system just southwest of Coconut Grove, in Miami, Florida. It is the southernmost Metrorail station in Miami city limits, although it has a Coral Gables address. The station is located at the intersection of Douglas Road (West 37th Avenue) and South Dixie Highway (US 1), three blocks south Bird Road (SW 40th Street). It opened to service May 20, 1984.[1]

In the early 2020s, several large transit-oriented residential buildings were built around the station, including The Link at Douglas, with towers over 440 feet (130 m) high.


Station layout

The station has two tracks served by an island platform, with a parking lot northwest of the platform.
