I work downtown at Thanksgiving Tower and I use the tunnels and bridges often. I had visited the "Pedway" for the first time in about 2003. It was full of shops and restaurants. Once the tunnels were closed off at 1401 Elm the pedestrian traffic lessened quite a bit.
It is truly a hidden Jewel of Dallas, Dallas should add to it, make it even more beautiful, shopping, art gallery, antique stores for tourist. Not every city has one, only cool and unique cities like Dallas have one.
The city has been trying to discourage people from making more and using the current tunnels. The reason? They are concerned that the businesses above ground are suffering and so is the Image of downtown Dallas. When you look at some videos of downtown Dallas you see that the streets are empty and that’s a real concern it’s a bad image for the city. Tourist wonder where the people of Dallas are they just don’t realize that they are by the thousands walking the streets underground.
Not a tunnel system like it could have been or implies. The basement levels of all the major buildings have food courts and there are some connector halls (tunnels) between the various basements. At 6 pm each building pulls down the gates closing off their basement level making a trek from one end to the other impossible. The tunnel at that point is segmented. There are a few cool "Star Trek" passageways from the 60's & 70's here and there...but to think it's all that neato from one in to the other is to be mistaken. There are a few shops down there...a barber, a frame shop, a show repair...but that's about it other than the food courts.
I’ve been a bike messenger in Dallas for over 12 years. Used these tunnels quite a bit. Unfortunately most of the small businesses don’t make it very long. There are hardly any left at this point. Still several places to eat though. With so many people working from home now seems like a ghost town.
they make it look like it big and nice and clean. but reality it just dirty and looks small why would they just show fast food and not any shopping stores ??
Yeah they tried to act like the one underground city in Dallas I think was so where you might be able to go everyday except for they missed one darn thing there was just so obvious but that wasn't the case, I mean that little tag everybody had was that ward off fleas and ticks or what, that means one thing to me man only a few select zombies.

We have something similar in downtown Houston. It’s been there since the 70s.
