Islandia mayor Luther Brooks and his small city council fought back, and at one point obtained a large bulldozer and cleared a wide swath down the center of Elliott Key as the beginning of the proposed six-lane Elliott Key Boulevard. Nevertheless, the purchase by the federal government of most of the land on Elliott Key ended those plans, and in 1968, Islandia was made a part of Biscayne National Monument (which later became Biscayne National Park). What remains today of the failed Elliott Key Boulevard is an wide nature trail covered by a tree canopy that is mockingly referred to as "Spite Highway."
