Dallas Pedestrian Network

2009 Map of the Dallas Pedestrian Network

The Dallas Pedestrian Network or Dallas Pedway is a system of grade-separated walkways covering thirty-six city blocks of Downtown Dallas, Texas, United States.[1] The system connects buildings, garages and parks through tunnels and above-ground skybridges. The network contains an underground city of shops, restaurants and offices during weekday business hours.

The underground network was the idea of Montreal urban planner Vincent Ponte, who was also responsible for Montreal's Underground City.[2]
