Lifelong resident here - my opinion is that 794 should stay, however remove the ramps between the Marquette and Lake interchanges. 794 is a through route to the south suburbs along the lake (Bayview, Cudahy, etc.) which means you're just pushing traffic to other surface streets.

I would keep one direct ramp on and off in both directions to Downtown. EB off/WB on at Plankinton Ave. WB off/EB on at Milwaukee with the configuration tied into the Lake Interchange.

No that's not the purpose of I-794. It's designed to collect and deliver traffic to and from downtown, not to serve the tiny percent of vehicles that are driving thru the center city en route to a couple of south shore neighborhoods and suburbs. Suburbs and neighborhoods, which I must say, one can easily drive to from 43/94 via surface roads without having to deal with downtown commuters.

I do now. I was born at West Allis Memorial hospital. Grew up in Bay View and work in Milwaukee.
