A detailed daytime rendering of Austin's proposed I-35 development, showcasing a vibrant, reimagined urban landscape. In the foreground, a modern, two-story wooden structure features rooftop seating areas filled with people. Behind it, a large grassy park is lined with trees and paths, where people are walking and playing.
