The folks over at 8664.org released today a few jazzed up renderings at what’s possible along Louisville’s waterfront. There’s also a video fly-by all through downtown and along the waterfront detailing just how great life without the 7th Least Wanted Highway slicing between the city and its river can be. It’s already smothering the grass at the Great Lawn and we all should know how destructive the junction will be to Downtown, but these beautiful visuals should help everyone realize what great potential there really is along Louisville’s waterfront. Perhaps most dramatic are the views of Shippingport and the areas immediately west of Downtown. The potential for urban growth and real city life almost feels graspable from the above view. As anyone who has walked the stretch of RiverWalk over in this area, this is quite an unmistakable transformation. And the numbers back the plan up, too. (via broken sidewalk)
