High Line Update

The portion of the High Line above 30th Street, which has largest open space will now be designed.

Without a plan, direction, or powerful sponsor (or Olympic bid, for that matter) to interfere, the Rail Yards seems ripe for another fresh-faced entrant, and FHL appears to be eager to garner political and popular support for this important piece of (potential) public space.

Friends of the High Line will be holding a public gathering, where they will present possibilities for this portion of the High Line, as well as gather comments from the public. Oh, and serve their famous High Line cookies and cider. Chelsea Market Community Space, 75 Ninth Avenue, 6.30pm Thursday December 7. RSVP required, contact community@thehighline.org or 212.206.9922.
