Walkability to the Moody Center

Hi all, we'll be attending a show at the Moody Center Friday evening (1/31/25) and it's been years since we've been to the downtown area. How pedestrian friendly/safe/well-lit is it to walk to the Moody Center from about 16th and Lavaca? We're hoping to not use a ride share service if we don't have to considering how congested that area might get. We thought it might be doable since we're not crossing under the highway and since the weather will be much nicer than it's been this week. Thanks in advance!
