 | An editor has marked this as a promising draft and requests that, should it go unedited for six months, G13 deletion be postponed, either by making a dummy/minor edit to the page, or by improving and submitting it for review.

The Los Angeles Pedway system (also known as the Calvin S. Hamilton Pedway) is a Skyway in Downtown Los Angeles, California. The Skyway connects many of the buildings in Bunker Hill via the World Trade Center.
The Pedway was envisioned in the 1970 "Concept Los Angeles" general plan[1] and was a pet project of then planning director Calvin Hamilton. The plan called for a people mover that would ferry commuters from two new parking garages on the outskirts of downtown into Bunker Hill and the Financial District, with the pedways allowing workers to move from the people mover to their desks all without ever mingling with traffic[2]. The beginnings of the pedway system were built beginning in 1975[3] and remain standing, but the people mover was never built.
