According to Guinness World Records, PATH is the largest underground shopping complex in the world with 371,600 m² of retail space.
PATH is a 27-kilometre (17 mi) network of pedestrian tunnels beneath the office towers of downtown
Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
Here's what's connected in the PATH :
- More than 50 buildings or office towers
- Twenty parking garages,
- Five subway stations,
- Two major department stores,
- Two major shopping centres,
- Six major hotels,
- A railway terminal
The CN Tower and Rogers Centre are connected via an enclosed elevated walkway, called Skywalk, from Union Station. Once a year, businesses in PATH host the world's largest underground sidewalk sale.
There are more than 125 grade level access points and 60 decision points where a pedestrian has to decide between turning left or right, or continuing straight on.
Each letter in
PATH is a different colour, each representing a direction. The
P is red and represents south. The orange
A directs pedestrians to the west, while the blue
T directs them to the north. The
H is yellow and points to the east.
Just a Toronto tidbit.
