STRATEGY 4 Move Goodale to Goodale Street and improve streetscape

Strategy 4 focuses on Goodale Park’s surrounding cityscape and includes two of the most transformative pieces of the Vision Plan. The first piece involves the closing of Goodale Street. This opens up the south end of the park for more pedestrian friendly activities and removes some major pedestrian-vehicular conflict points. We envision a scaled down streetscape at the intersection of Park and Goodale and the incorporation of the vacant overpass plazas into Goodale Park. The second major move in Strategy 4 is the shift of the interior park driveway to align with Poplar Ave. This also reduces a major pedestrian-vehicular conflict point. In addition, Strategy 4 aims to improve the streetscape of Park Street and make it more of a connection between Goodale Park and Downtown Columbus.
