Navigation: 3 mega menus (Events, Eat & Drink, Explore) with 2/3 link pane + 1/3 editorial spotlight panel. 2 simple dropdowns (Parking & Safety, About) with icon + label + description per row. Donate CTA styled as distinct button. Per SNA_Navigation_Strategy_OSA: mega menus trigger on hover (200ms open / 300ms close delay in production); editorial panels are CMS-managed single post references with fallback defaults; Explore groups subpages by section (Art & Culture, Shopping, Experiences, Stay); Shopping nav shows only Fashion, Gifts, and All Shopping (analytics-informed — other categories accessible via landing page); Events editorial panel uses NAVY background; Eat & Drink and Explore editorial panels use white background. Mobile: all menus convert to accordion drawers, editorial panels omitted.

§3 — Validation Program. "Park Free. Shop More." — three garage cards with addresses and badge sets. Callout block explains the program: 2 hours free with any participating business purchase, valid daily 7 AM – 7 PM. Cards link to directions. Governance: SNA Maintenance — update if garage list or hours change. ★ Verify "2 hours free" is still the current program. Confirm the list of "participating businesses" — does every SNA-member business validate, or only a subset? If subset, consider adding a link to the participating business list.

Prefer your phone? Use the ParkColumbus App to pay, extend time remotely, and get expiration alerts.
§4 — Rates & Kiosk Reference. On-street meter rates for High Street, Goodale area, and green meters. Rate table designed for quick scanning — zone, rate, hours, notes. Kiosk callout block explains payment steps. ParkColumbus App cross-reference included. Governance: City of Columbus / SNA sync — rates are set by the City. ★ Verify all rates are current with Columbus Parking Services. Confirm "Free Sundays" policy. Green meters: verify 30-minute max is still enforced. ParkColumbus App: confirm still the official app (not replaced by another vendor).
EV Charging Stations
4 garages with EV infrastructure
Electric vehicle charging is available at four garages within the Short North district. Chargers are located on designated levels — follow in-garage signage to the EV-marked spaces.

§5 — EV Charging. Compact section — brief intro paragraph + 4-row table listing garages with EV infrastructure. Intentionally brief; EV drivers just need to know which garages to go to. Governance: SNA Maintenance — update as chargers are added. ★ Verify all 4 garages still have operational EV charging. Consider adding charger count, level (L2/DC Fast), and network (ChargePoint, etc.) as data becomes available. May want to link to a real-time availability feed in the future.
§6 — Getting Here Cross-Link Band. Minimal, single-link strip pointing to the Getting Here subpage. Provides an exit ramp for visitors who arrived at the Parking Map page but actually need transit/bike/rideshare info. Teal-on-light background, matching the shared cross-link band style. Governance: Automatic — link is static.
PRE-FOOTER — Global component displayed on every page. Combines newsletter signup + social links into a persistent strip above the footer.
Footer consolidates full sitemap. Social links in pre-footer above. Links connect to wireframes where available; # = placeholder for pages not yet wireframed.
