Here's a thread where Montreal won't be able to boast. I don't think we have any save for the ones in industrial building/grain elevators.

[mersar]

And Calgary surpasses all others. Calgary is home to the longest network in terms of total length. The system connects nearly every building over a few floors in the downtown core, some 100+ buildings in total. Nearly every recent project has been connected to the network, some projects with only one or two bridges, however others have more (the Bow will have 4 eventually)

Here's a thread where Montreal won't be able to boast. I don't think we have any save for the ones in industrial building/grain elevators.

There is one leading to the Palais des congrès. However, we mostly have tunnels in Montréal's underground network. Not as spectacular as skywalk, but still very useful.

Yes .. Calgary is th King of the Skywalk system. It makes winter a little more livable.

A friend of mine told me Calgary was also the first city to build them to connect downtown buildings. I am not sure it thats a fact, its just what someone told me.

Well it seems like a stretch to suggest that Calgary was the first city anywhere to build skywalks, I could believe that it was the first city to plan a comprehensive network of them. It makes sense in that regard. Always plenty of new construction expected in the downtown core ; cold temperatures in the winter ; the wealth to afford it.

[rapid_business]

/\ :haha: yeah, and Calgary no less.

Yes .. Calgary is th King of the Skywalk system. It makes winter a little more livable.

This may be true, but it also robs the street of 'street life' and 'vitality' as you remove people from it. It's terrible in creating active street frontages, and true urban/inactive centres. It's one reason Vancouver has actively prevented their construction (and underground connections) for the past 20 years. They see the importance of an active street level, not removing people from it.

Sure the weather plays a big factor in Cal, Edm, etc., and any developer would be considered an idiot if they didn't connect to the network now, but that's the catch-22 of making it worse.

[flar]

Skywalks are ugly. I think there are three in downtown Hamilton. Two of them plus Jackson Square allow one to get to most of the major destinations downtown without going outside: Fairclough Building, Sheraton Hotel, Stelco Tower, Standard Life Centre, Thompson Building, City Centre, Central Library, Copps Coliseum, Convention Centre, Hamilton Place, Art Gallery of Hamilton, Farmer's Market and three or four separate parking garages.

[habfanman]

The only 2 that I know of in Montreal are at the Palais de Congrès (convention centre). One is large and connects the main exposition halls with the conference centre, the other is much smaller. They're also connected underground.

Instead, there are over 30 km's of underground city or RÉSO (-15's?) which are interconnected with about a dozen metro stations. Every major office complex, shopping centre, 5 universities, 3 train stations, bus terminals, Place des Arts, Bell centre, Olympic Stadium, National library etc. are plugged into the underground. I've been exploring down there for over 2 years and I still get lost and I still haven't seen half of it.

[AndrewToronto3D]

The one thing with the RÉSO comparing with P.A.T.H is that RÉSO's 32km of tunnels are disjointed. The P.A.T.H network is continuous and is at 27 km and currently about to expand with, Trump, B/A, Telus, RBC, MLS, and I think Shangri-La. If the P.A.T.H system were to include it's disconnected sisters at College Park, and Yorkville like the RÉSO does, it would be around 33km without the new connections that are u/c. P.A.T.H is 27 continuous km of foot travel, no subway/metro needed.

The RÉSO is completely connected. The bits that fly off such as UQÀM, Concordia etc. are not considered part of the network. They are included on maps because it would make no sense not to include them; they are part of the underground network but not RÉSO.

It's not that P.A.T.H. doesn't need subway connections only that there are no subway connections available. The lack of downtown Toronto subway coverage is well known: "I'm at Union. I think I'll go.. north!".

[youngregina]

Regina also has many skywalks downtown,, 11 to be precise. You can get almost anywhere without ever having to go outdoors. Its nice when its minus 40.

According to RÉSO sites such as ( http://www.aviewoncities.com/montreal/reso.htm ) and other RÉSO links easily found online or linked through Wiki, Berri-UQUAM and Guy-Concordia are indeed sections of RÉSO adding to it's total length.

P.A.T.H. may only have a hand full of subway connections but that just goes to show how massive it is. As stated before if P.A.T.H were to include disjointed section like RÉSO it would be the largest hands down. At the moment as a single connection of tunnels Guiness recognizes it as the worlds largest underground complex. And as I stated in my last post. As soon as our new buildings come online P.A.T.H will blow RÉSO out of the water with or without including sections not directly connected to the Core section.

I was thinking the same thing. I cannot believe either would come close to the huge complexes around the major Tokyo subway stations. For that matter, even other Japanese cities like Osaka and Nagoya have mile upon mile of underground malls and tunnels - almost certainly more overall than TO or Montreal.

[WhipperSnapper]

I really couldn't care less whose is bigger but,

"It's not that P.A.T.H. doesn't need subway connections only that there are no subway connections available. The lack of downtown Toronto subway coverage is well known: "I'm at Union. I think I'll go.. north!".
"

is pretty darn ignorant.

[AndrewToronto3D]

I was thinking that a few years ago. The only thing I can say in favour of Toronto and Montreal are they had more room to grow underground with less technical issues to deal with. That and our climate dictated borrowing pedestrian routes under the city then in some of the larger European and Asian cities. What would be interesting to see if any other cities with harsh winters have underground pedestrian systems. I think it might be easier to find cities that have huge networks of elevated networks. Hong Kong comes to mind.

And MolsonExport, I'm not a newbie to the site. Actually you're one of my favorite forumers on here. I was forced to create a new account. Every time I logged in with my old one it would say the forum is busy and to try back later.

Somebody asked what was the highest walkway in Canada? Good question.

Here is an old one Connecting the Carpet Factory Bldg to the Current Sony BMG Bldg in Liberty Village. It's seen better days but I've heard it's going to be renovated to fit in with the restored area.

Somebody asked what was the highest walkway in Canada? Good question.


What about condo buildings designed with bridges ?

The TD Tower's skywalk is about 80-100 feet off the ground ... my guess, tallest in Toronto

My memory is sketchy, but I think the one connecting Mt Sinai and Princess Margaret hospitals is at the 16th floor level and would be well over 100 feet of the ground.

I finally found a picture of Halifax's main Skywalk;

It stretches over the Cogswell Interchange connecting Purdys Wharf and the Casino to Scotia Square and the bus terminal;

what is the highest one in canada?

I confirmed that the one shown below is at the 16th floor ... so who has a candidate for one that is higher?

Saint John is the clear pedway leader in NB, they have a fairly large public system for the size of the city, I would argue they have the largest on a per capita basis.

Heres a map of the system they have there:

i was looking east from inside the convention center in winnipeg last night and noticed a "skywalk" between two taller buildings. not sure how high exactly but it looked like it was close to, if not higher than 16 stories up.

Right that is the Holiday Towers (Residential) according to the cities section one tower is 27 stories and the other is 21 the skywalk is near the top of the two it is to facilitate access to the amenities area IIRC.

Can someone get out then and get a picture??? We need a new "highest", and it would be sweet if the Peg can steal the title from the Smoke. ;)

Wasn't there some sort of skywalk between towers at Fort Garry Place? Or was I actually looking at the Holiday Towers without realizing it?

No those three towers are only connected by their podium however there is a skywalk connecting the Fort Garry hotel since the hotel gives their guests access to the pool and gym at Fort Garry Place (only 2-3 floors up)

I'll see if I can dig up some photos of Ottawa's skywalks. Most of our skywalks are for our transitway stations, and the two we have at the Rideau Centre.
