They're fairly common? Can you provide examples?
The closest thing I can think of is a series of connected pedestrian tunnels that you see in some Canadian cities like Montreal and Toronto. Those primarily exist for a different reason; winter is months-long and so cold that you don't want to step foot outside at all. Pedestrian bridges don't accomplish this goal.

- CydeWeys 7y agoHow old is the skyway system? Were the buildings built with this in mind or were they added on later?
- grzm 7y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minneapolis_Skyway_System#History_and_development https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minneapolis_Skyway_System#Hist... For Minneapolis, the first segment was built in 1962. Segments are often retrofits, as many of the buildings predate there system.
