Route description

Running 6.4 kilometers (4.0 mi) from Barbosa Avenue (PR-27) in eastern Hato Rey to San Patricio Avenue near the city limits of San Juan and Guaynabo, Roosevelt Avenue is densely developed throughout most of its span, connecting most residential areas of San Juan, such as Puerto Nuevo, Hato Rey Este, Barrio Obrero, Floral Park, San José, and the residential and commercial area of San Patricio in Guaynabo. Most of the known shops in San Juan are located along Roosevelt Avenue, between these is Plaza Las Américas, the first American-style shopping center in Puerto Rico, and the largest shopping center in Puerto Rico and the Caribbean. Also, Roosevelt Avenue passes just south of the Golden Mile (Milla de Oro), the main financial district of San Juan.[4]

Transportation

The Roosevelt station of the Tren Urbano is the only station that stops on the avenue. The other station, Hato Rey, stops just a mile ahead due north, at the beginning of the Golden Mile.[5]

The AMA has a bus connection stop at the corner of Roosevelt with Ponce de León Avenue (PR-25), and Roosevelt with Muñoz Rivera Avenue (PR-1), just south of the Golden Mile. The AMA route A-3 stops at this connection, and then returns to Roosevelt Avenue from Plaza Las Américas until the end of the avenue. The A-3 does not runs Roosevelt Avenue from the Muñoz Rivera Avenue to the intersection with Plaza Las Américas Avenue, that's the job for the AMA route B-22 who runs all the Roosevelt Avenue. The AMA route M-2 (Metrobus 2) runs Roosevelt Avenue until the intersection of Muñoz Rivera Avenue.[6]
