The TMC Healthy Connections Action Plan

Does this plan take into account projects in the surrounding area?

Yes! This plan builds off of recently completed and in progress projects on the TMC campus and in the surrounding area, including projects by neighboring partners such as Hermann Park and Rice University.

We are also aware of the many ongoing and planned construction projects in the TMC and will incorporate future campus changes into the plan.

We are working to stay up-to-date on any project that will impact this plan to inform plan recommendations.
