Equal East Riverbox
Equal East Riverbox, was created in early 2022, by artist Don Staufenberg.
Equal East Riverbox celebrates the bridging between Downtown Historic Dublin and
the new Bridge Park development. A new Dublin Link pedestrian bridge acts as an
equalizer between both sides; it becomes a celebration between both sides of
Dublin, where one is not better than the other, they are unique in their own ways
and are equally vital to the community.
The artist wanted to create an artwork where the explorer learns something about
Dublin from either side of the bridge. Three pieces of steel crossing the artwork
represent three of Dublin’s Scioto River bridges: the Route 161 (Bridge Street)
Bridge, The Dublin Link pedestrian bridge, and the Emerald Parkway bridge which
runs parallel to the I-270 overpass.

stairwell down to the paved path below.
Walk north toward the site where bicycles,
joggers, and strollers fork in different directions.
Look for a brilliant white form
nestled along the tree line and the river’s edge.
