    February 25, 2011 Contact: Peter Bruce Pedestrian Studies 612-275-541 For Immediate Release Study Shows Foot Traffic on Some Downtown Minneapolis Skyways Is Above Historical Average, Pedestrian Traffic is at All-Time High on Nicollet Mall Key Block, Five Skyway Locations Have Volumes Above 10,000 per Day The 20th Annual Minneapolis Downtown Pedestrian Count study, conducted in October 2010 by consultant Peter Bruce of Pedestrian Studies, shows traffic volumes at four locations are between 3 and 23 percent above historical average volumes. The four locations are along the west side of Nicollet Mall where traffic, significantly affected by worker/vendor traffic between Target Corporation offices in nearby buildings, has stayed strong over many years. The four locations with volumes above their historical averages were in Fifty South Sixth Street, City Center, Gaviidae Common and Retek on the Mall buildings. Nicollet Mall traffic volume on a key block matched its previous high mark of 25,000 per day. Volumes at 16 other skyway locations are at or slightly below historical average levels for various reasons, highlighting the complexity of downtown foot traffic patterns.

In the warm fall of 2010, the median change in skyway traffic volumes at 20 locations was down 10 percent from historical average. When the volumes were adjusted for the unseasonably warm weather which kept more people out of the skyways, the 2010 median was estimated to be unchanged from the historical average.
