This exists in places like Calgary (+15 Skywalk) and Edmonton (Pedways), and underground in places like Toronto (PATH) and Montréal (RÉSO) to try and separate pedestrians from snow and being sprayed by slush from cars.
From a weather perspective, they're pretty nice in the winter, but they suffer from a number of problems such as weird hours, lack of step free access, and fundamentally removing you from the urban fabric of the city. Oh, and they meander everywhere so it often takes a lot longer to use them. You end up with odd liminal spaces that can sometimes feel quite dangerous.
