1. 210822 An ordinance granting an air space lease to the Wisconsin Center
District for a Skywalk on North Vel R Phillips Avenue for the premises at
400 West Wisconsin Avenue.
Sponsors: THE CHAIR
Ms. Dawn Schmidt said this skywalk will replace a skywalk that was removed that
connected the Hyatt Motel to the Wisconsin Center District convention center. The
convention center is being expanded, hence the need for a new skywalk.
Mike Abrams - CAI Team - there is a slope from right to left and it is coordinated with
future street car heights. There is an increased percentage of glass compared to the
original design - 37% versus the current 54% glass. It goes directly to the second level
of the new convention center. The skywalk was designed to meet all of the ADA
requirements.
There is no plan to have a skywalk across Kilbourn.
Sam Leichtling moved for approval. There were no objections.
