Description
The Sky Walk is an approximately 500 meter enclosed walkway connecting Union Station to the CN Tower and the Rogers Center (Sky Dome) in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Part of Toronto's PATH network, the Sky Walk passes above the York Street 'subway' and the Simcoe Street Tunnel and runs roughly parallel between Front Street and Bremner Boulevard.
Designed by the IBI Group, the Sky Walk was opened in 1989 as a predominantly indoor connection from Union Station to the SkyDome. The primary purpose of the Sky Walk is to reduce the need for additional parking spaces near the stadium by providing a direct transportation link to the subway and GO Transit regional trains. A post-modern curved metal and glass structure, the Sky Walk was the first major construction project in the former railway lands after the CN Tower.
On 6 June 2015, the Union Pearson Express station was opened within the Sky Walk. The Sky Walk turned out to be an excellent way to connect the subway and rail system to the entertainment district of downtown Toronto.
