Print ArticleThe plans for downtown's latest high-structure are beginning to take shape.

As a part of this project Baptist MD Anderson will construct a shared-use path along Children's Way and Nira Street, between Palm Avenue and the FEC railroad tracks. Eventually, this path will connect with Riverside (via the Fuller Warren Bridge shared-use path), the Skyway's Kings Avenue Station and the Southbank Riverwalk.
