It seems that some of the park employees working for the High Line in New York aren’t so artist-friendly…
Design plans for this section, which will run through the Hudson Yards Development, were finally unveiled in March. Due to the unique wraparound layout of the tracks in this section and their proximity to the waterfront, this section of the High Line may be the most striking yet. Currently the Friends of the High Line are looking for funds to restore the original tracks on this section.
Prior to the announcement, Untapped Cities broke into the final section of the High Line to capture nature in its less controlled form—a sight that’s a rare treat in New York.
Spent part of Friday afternoon exploring the newly opened High Line Park in the Meatpacking District of New York. It’s a great example of reclaimed urban space.
The first section between Ganesvoort Street and West 20th is currently open, but if all goes well, the park will extend up to west 30th in 2010.
