Goodale Street and Convention Center Drive and designated in plan 3238 Draw E. The proposed bridge will extend from a proposed parking garage on the north side of East Goodale Street to the Columbus Convention Center located on the south side of East Goodale Street. During the design phase of the proposed parking garage, comprised of 8 stories with 800 parking spaces, it was determined for safety reasons the pedestrian bridge was warranted.

A value of $500.00 was established for this aerial encroachment easement.
