Pete, I hope the DCA works on this sooner than later. LED options sound like a cool idea!. It would also be great if they could make some interactive stations along the route on best options to get from Point A to Point B since sometimes it's hard to find a door unlocked to get out of the skywalk once you are up there in it after 7pm. Also how about an iPhone app DCA? Hank you are right on!

The skywalks need to be taken seriously just like a normal city street. Here we go with the "image" thing again. People need directions. We don't want visitors going back home and talking about a big revolving door that they got caught up in. Des Moines needs to learn how to multitask. It needs to pick up the pace. We need to market our attractions quickly and efficiently. The Center Street Pedestrian Bridge will be done in three months. We don't need to wait until 2012 to promote it or have it's image appear on city web sites. This is suppose to be a skywalk sysytem, not a maze where someone can get lost easily.

Also, I believe the option they are considering would alow them to focus on one location that may be having a large gathering over the weekend...
