Calgary Plus 15 Network

Too much money makes people lazy! That’s what I felt on +15.
1. I had never pushed a door myself while walking on +15. Every door has a sensor and opens automatically.
2. «Oh it’s too hot outside» «Oh the sun is too intense right now»…so let’s just take the street pictures on +15… Why bother to step out?
3. I don’t need to hold a map and think — there is a touch screen map showing where you are in every corner.
Maybe one day they will upgrade +15 with some moving belts so no need to walk any more…

Why brave the elements outside when you can get around downtown in the world’s longest skywwalk system? This 16 km network lets you go from building to building without leaving the comfort of room temperature.
While some areas seem to be poorly planned and can get you a little turned around, there’s maps throughout the network to get you back in the right direction. The system connects you through shopping malls, food courts, museums, and many other services. Architecturally, each bridge over the street is unique. Some are quite grand, like the one that connects to Holt Renfrew, while others are more of a means to an end to get you from one building to another.
There is so much to see and do throughout the network that you don’t even need to go outside, which was the plot of a movie just over a decade ago (
