Reminder - Public meeting on Thursday! We need your voice in the room to show WisDOT that Milwaukee is ready for removal.

Press release: Rethink 794 group says removal of elevated highway through Downtown and replacement with street-level boulevard is still best option for region milwaukeerecord.com/press-release/…

Today’s the day to make your voice heard about reimagining the 794 spur between the river and the lake (Hoan bridge remains no matter what) Watch this great video for background on the issue: youtube.com/watch?v=gszcAE…

Tear it down, redevelop downtown. We're not going to change this city by doing the same things over and over again. Endless highway expansions haven't worked, they've taken us in the wrong direction, time to reverse course.

Here's a piece on 794 I wrote in the summer of 2023. It's insane that we're still debating this. We should have made a decision by now. milwaukeerecord.com/city-life/what…

TODAY: WisDOT will unveil narrowed options for the future of Interstate 794 during an open house at the Milwaukee Marriott Downtown, 625 N. Milwaukee St., from 4 to 7 p.m. jsonline.com/story/money/re…

NEW: WisDOT has narrowed its list of I-794 lake interchange alternatives down to four options. Two would narrow the freeway and open up land for development, one would replace the spur as it stands and one would remove the freeway completely

kudos to Wisconsin DOT⁩ for outlying a full array of options for reimagining Milwaukee’s 794 spur at today’s public engagement meeting and great to see such solid turnout (this is just one of the rooms)

All of the 794 public meeting materials and display boards are available online here: 794lakeinterchange.webflow.io/may-2025-pim-m… This one, in particular, stands out to me. The "final design" on this isn't scheduled to be completed until 2030. 2030!!! HOW?!?!?

Huge turnout today, thank you to everyone who made their voice heard! If you missed today's meeting, be sure to leave a comment: app.pima.wisconsindot.gov/public/comment…

Which looks worse?

The Hoan Bridge and parts of 794 were closed this morning/afternoon for UPAF ride for the arts. Shockingly, downtown is still standing! Drivers rerouted, traffic flowed, and mass was packed at Festa Italiana. Where’s the crippling congestion and loss of business I was promised??

Curious about previous nominees? Meet the freeways in our Campaign Updates section: I-5 in Seattle, WA I-794 in Milwaukee, WI (Rethink 794 in MKE 🌆) SR 99 in Seattle, WA #FreewayFighters #FreewaysWithoutFutures #HighwaystoBoulevards cnu.org/highways-boule…

The Rochester highway removal was able to reclaim 6.5 acres of land, leading to $229 million in development and millions in new tax revenue for the city. We need more urban highway removals.

Can't wait until we do this in Milwaukee when we Rethink 794 in MKE 🌆

The vision is finally becoming a reality. What comes next will be marvelous. #freewayremoval
