Agreed – there's no place for a skywalk in the Exchange, especially between heritage buildings. Either underground or nothing.

If so, an underground RRC walkway would only need to cross Princess St to link up with that corridor, and then you'd be able to go underground from the new RRC building on Elgin all the way to the Manitoba Museum and Centennial Concert Hall.
I believe there was some language in the Marketlands planning docs about making use of and even improving on the underground connections in the Exchange. Make them more accessible to the public and brighten them up a bit. All the sidewalk art and branding for this Marketlands project was taken from the existing art designs in the underground system stemming from City Hall.
