If the Ricketts were to propose (and fund) a pedway, I'd be all for it. I really don't care whether tourists mix with the hoi palloi on the street or not.

The new office building on the triangular plot of land West of the park is going to be connected directly to the ball park by two sky bridges that will hang over the Seminary Promenade between the office building and stadium. This was in the renderings released at the convention. The hotel sky bridge will most likely link to the roof of the office buidling as well. I have a feeling the top of the office building is going to be open space for concessions and seating for people to picnic. Hopefully the two new buildings will compliment Wrigley. I'm hoping for a white terracotta brick exterior.
