This view is located along the pedestrian walkway on the W 5th St overpass — the GPS coordinates will plant you at the exact point where I stood to capture the featured shot. There are no parking spots on the overpass itself, but there are plenty of areas to park along S Beaudry Ave, which is perpendicular to W 5th St.
