I LOVE the Minneapolis Skyway system. I think something like that would be very popular in Omaha--especially during the winter.

It really kills pedestrian traffic at the street level....ask Des Moines about that one.

Some urban planners and architects revile them, and not without cause, such as ... Skyways often are damned as sucking vitality from the streets.
Time out for irony: Now that food trucks are popular, some second-story restaurants have cried foul, saying the trucks suck vitality from the skyways and don’t have to bear the tax burden of brick-and-mortar restaurants.

Yeah for Minneapolis winters they are great but they do kill everything at street level.

Re: Minneapolis Skyways about to get bigger
I always wondered what if Omaha had a skywalk system in the financial core. It would be perfect for winters, and in that area it wouldn't affect too many retailers since most are in the Old Market. Maybe if the parking garages were connected to the system the Holland could stop whining.
