Skyways
After the first all-enclosed mall opened in Edina, MN, the city of
Minneapolis wanted a way to attract shoppers to downtown.
Their solution was to develop a skyway plan that would allow
visitors to walk from building to building without the need to go
outside. The first all-weather pedestrian skyway designed by
Edward Baker was built in 1962. This second-level corridor
spanned 7th Street South between Marquette and 2nd Avenue.
Today there are more than seven miles of skyways in downtown
Minneapolis.
