Pedestrian Network
A major connecting point of the Dallas Pedestrian Network is situated one level below the park. Connecting several adjacent buildings, the corridors are lined with restaurant and retail space owned by the City of Dallas. Consecutive construction with the park allowed for skylights, wide walkways and several colorful open spaces to disguise the fact that it is several feet underground. The network can also be accessed from the park's courtyard. Escalators bring the network to ground level at Bullington Street, which serves as a pedestrian mall and connects to the Bullington-Akard Skywalk.

Famous quotes containing the words pedestrian and/or network:
“However global I strove to become in my thinking over the past twenty years, my sons kept me rooted to an utterly pedestrian view, intimately involved with the most inspiring and fractious passages in human development. However unconsciously by now, motherhood informs every thought I have, influencing everything I do. More than any other part of my life, being a mother taught me what it means to be human.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
“How have I been able to live so long outside Nature without identifying myself with it? Everything lives, moves, everything corresponds; the magnetic rays, emanating either from myself or from others, cross the limitless chain of created things unimpeded; it is a transparent network that covers the world, and its slender threads communicate themselves by degrees to the planets and stars. Captive now upon earth, I commune with the chorus of the stars who share in my joys and sorrows.”
—Gérard De Nerval (1808–1855)
