High Line: Designs Unveiled

Friends of the High Line and city officials unveiled new designs for the West Side High Line that show their completed plans for the first two sections of the city’s only elevated park.

The High Line – a 1.45 mile-long stretch of railroad tracks raised between 18 and 30 feet in the air on steel beams – runs from Gansevoort Street to 34th Street along Manhattan’s West Side. Today the parks commissioner, Adrian Benepe, the city planning commissioner, Amanda Burden, and the project’s proponents and designers presented updated designs of section one and the first public images of section two.
