Stretching more than 1.5 miles over New York City, the iconic High Line elevated park is now connected to Penn Station. This new life for the formerly abandoned railroad tracks puts a whole new spin on a public park. Jill Schlesinger has more.

This is what the streets of NYC should be like. They should be fully pedestrianized and full of trees. We don't need a grid of car sewers, we need pleasant streets.

@LebronCCP Жыл бұрын

Are there any homeless in that park?

@SicilianStealth Жыл бұрын

@@LebronCCPlet me fill you in. Originally from Rye New York I was once homeless in White Plains. But I have been a Chelsea Manhattan resident for over 20 years now. The High Line is a public park funded privately. During summer hours it stays open later but when closes Gates come down at the stairwells and the elevators for handicapped accesses are turned off on the upper level. While I've met some very nice people up there I avoided like the plague because it's now overrun with tourists. Instead of tourist management is tourist promotion. It goes over my street and I avoid it like the plague.

@SicilianStealth Жыл бұрын

Well this is Manhattan. As a Chelsea Manhattan resident since 2004 I can destroy you my block is just fine it's all art galleries were thirty years ago none of this was here and I still lived at home in Rye New York. Each tree has a granite pillars installed next of different varying sizes installed in 1995 they are imported from Germany. My street looks just fine you want more trees go plant one.

It does not go to the Moynihan train terminal at all. They say that just to justify spending the funds, but you need walk through the Hudson yards for a whole block and across the street to get to Moynihan.

It's beautiful and nice but it's such a late 20th century project... Raising pedestrain above the street is the result of the monopolization of the streets by cars in the early 20th century. With the end of gasoline, climate change and the scarcity of ressources to build electric cars, car ownership is going to drop 90% in the next decade or two, so it's time to reclaim the streets from the cars and give it back to pedestrians, as streets have always been for thousands of years.

Um, "America" didn't "struggle" to build an unnecessary pedestrian bridge NYC pedestrians never asked for and didn't need. The "bridge" near Philadelphia was an overpass on an interstate highway that came down not because it was old infrastructure but because an 18 wheel oil tanker exploded underneath it. Your comment can best be described as confidently ignorant.

It's a connection to an elevated public green space that thousands of people use on a weekly basis and enjoy. The crosswalk are for people on the street. The highline brings an incalculable amount of money into that neighborhood from tourists who are there to experience the highline not to mention makes the city more livable. For only $20 million in public money, it's worth it.
