Milwaukee Skywalk

The skywalk system consists of 1.75 mi (2.82 km) of walkways that connect about eight city blocks in downtown Milwaukee.

Some notable buildings that the skywalk connects include: The Avenue, 310W, Hyatt Regency, Baird Center, Chase Tower, Riverside Theater, and 100 East Wisconsin.

The mayor at the time, John Norquist, believed that the skywalks would be bad for retail businesses since they would remove pedestrians from street-level.

[1] At some time in the 1990s, a committee was created to review the designs of any new skywalks.

[1] In 2023, a 110 ft (34 m) section of skywalk was added between the Hyatt Regency and the Baird Center.
