The fact is, there's already enough foot traffic on the main level because of Tim horton's, the merc, the gym, the eating area, the parking lot, student services, buhler, bus stops, etc., and that will only increase regardless of a skywalk.

Hmm, it kind of seems like you are saying you are basically lazy. You note that it is necessary to put a coat on to do other things but you are happy to spend the extra millions on a skywalk just so you can walk to a class in shirtsleeves across a street that will be effectively closed for traffic. I say put your jacket on, take the stairs and walk the 20 metres to the next building.
