Doesn't Chankanaab have a Mayan pyramid statue also?

Doesn't Chankanaab have a Mayan pyramid statue also?

I remember a brass statue at Chankanaab, but that was before Wilma. I don't know if it survived the storm.

At either Palancar Garden or Columbia Shallows there is/was a male stick figure (made of concrete blocks) lying on the bottom. You can tell by its anatomy. Probably not the type of man-made structure you're looking for though.

street or avenida?

Avenida. Another example of me being stuck in the past! Before it was Avenida Andres Quintana Roo, it was Avenida 11. Before it was Avenida 11, it was a gravel road named Calle 11.
