2026 Skyway Community Survey

679 voices. One vision.

The most comprehensive survey of skyway users in the system’s history.

March – April 2026  ·  679 respondents  ·  24 questions

In March and April 2026, Friends of the Saint Paul Skyway asked downtown residents, workers, and visitors how they use the skyway, what they love, and what needs to change. The message is unmistakable: the skyway is essential, it is beloved, and it is not living up to its potential. Two views of that data follow — a long-form report, and a live dashboard you can filter yourself.
