The Second Street Bridge ?? the arched and iconic entry to downtown Columbus ? will soon have an official name, that of Robert N. Stewart, the former Columbus mayor who led the effort to make it an integral part of the city's massive Front Door project of the 1990s.
Gov. Mike Pence, a Columbus native, issued an executive order today which authorized naming of the bridge ? which has had a generic title since it opened in 1999 ? for Stewart, known by most people in Columbus as "Bob."?
"I'm just delighted with this honor," Stewart said this afternoon. "It was announced at the weekly Rotary Club meeting earlier in the day and a lot of the members had some fun with it, but I'm very humbled with this recognition."
