Rethink 794, in collaboration with local architectural designer John Everitt, unveils a new and innovative way to visualize the I-794 Corridor. Using any mobile device, the initiative showcases a vision that replaces I-794 with a boulevard alternative and development. Augmented Reality (AR) allows participants to experience the potential for this project to transform Downtown Milwaukee and the Historic Third Ward. Discover for yourself how a boulevard opens land for potential development, creates better walking and biking connections, and strengthens the City’s tax-base. Check out the augmented reality renderings at i794.com.
“If Milwaukee knows what we could have had, it will be harder to deny Rethinking 794,” said John Everitt, Local Architectural Designer. “This can be a very real future for Milwaukee. I am trying to get the public excited about the possibilities and to inspire other concerned residents to do their own dreaming. Since nearly everyone has a smartphone, they can walk to these exact spots on the map and transport themselves to this possible future in the same perspective as they stand. Like a LIVE before and after photo."
