Pedway

Pedway

A pedway is an elevated or underground pedestrian walkway, often connecting urban high-rises to each other, other buildings, or the street. They are used as a quick way to move from building to building, away from traffic and inclement weather. Two of the largest networks of underground walkways are located in Canada. RÉSO in Montreal and PATH in Toronto each consist of approximately 30 km of underground walkways in the heart of their respective city centres.
