Reminds me of the Minneapolis Skyway[0]. I wonder if other cold-weather cities have similar systems.

Montreal has one: https://www.mtl.org/en/experience/guide-underground-city-sho...

I grew up in Chicago and lived in Montreal for a while. Theirs is WAAY better than Chicago's.

+1. Very functional and mostly clean system. Not that Montrealers are afraid of cold. Not sure how many businesses are still operating there post-pandemic.
University of Wisconsin, Green Bay has a semi-tunnel, semi enclosed walkway system:

It is very close to the eponymous Green Bay and the wind can be very cold if you are outside for any time in some parts of winter.

University of Rochester in Rochester NY has one too!

Laval University (in Quebec City) also has one.

Tunnels are dotted green lines.

Duluth has a (much smaller-scale) system
