Bloomberg Blesses New Park for NYC: The High Line

NYC's newest park, the High Line, see thehighline.orgI’m
very pleased to read on Gawker
that Mayor Bloomberg has endorsed plans to turn a mile and a half of abandoned
railway line on the West Side of Manhattan (from Gansevoort to 34th Streets next
to 10th Ave) will be turned into a park area. The effort, which got the kibosh
from Giuliani, is largely the labor of love by Robert Hammond, who founded Friends
of the High Line (nice web site) to
support the initiative. Further details from
the NY Times
.
