OK, my knowledge of AGW from experience.
The area where a possible bridge would go is currently an interior hallway with restrooms. Restrooms are on the north side of the hallway. When the area hosted the movie theater, the corner had Cinnabon store facing east. The south side is the wall for the parking structure. So the building, as far as I can tell, was designed to allow the addition of a bridge
Once again, when it comes to these images, you get what you pay for.
Here is a deep, dark, hallway that runs between the parking structure and the retail space. It leads to bathrooms, and a stairwell (as well as a door to a not-for-public-consumption hallway that runs at a 90 degree angle along the back-side of said retail, on down to the HOB space). This may or may not be the hallway @Darkbeer1 was speaking of, but to me it doesn't quite line up.
Here's a little something I came across. (It might be useful later.) Please excuse the shadows, exposure, etc. Phone camera and I was trying to avoid flash reflections.
In this image, I tried to overlay the above photo with a google earth image. Noted is: (orange) what would be the straight-line path from the assumed sky-way, (green) the existing hallway to the bathrooms, (blue) the existing off-limits hallway that runs north/south. Also note, I may have the shape of this hallway messed up a bit. I wasn't doing any measuring.
Please note (if you wish) there's a clear (or not so clear) delineation between the empty retail space on the bottom half of this image, and the future HOB structure on the top half, complete with expansion joint on the walkway to the right.
Here's a picture from just inside the door of the north/south hallway. I guess you can use the fire extinguisher housing for scale.
Here's a shot from a little further down. It's intended to show those expansion joints, as well as the fact that the stairs go up to a small platform (the joints in the walls bisect it) then back down. Use the hand rails for scale and perspective. It must be avoiding something important.
Put this all together and what does it mean? I don't know. That's what discussion is for.
And one more bonus picture, with a story. When it was time to leave, I drove down the ramps and was presented with a choice of two exits. One way led to Katella (and it's forced right-hand turn towards Harbor. The other would lead to Disney Way, and quick access to the southbound 5 (where I was going). Following their clear signage, I was confronted with this dilemma:
Oh GardenWalk. You never fail to disappoint.
