THE HIGH LINE


WHAT IS IT? A former elevated railway, long fallen into disuse

WHERE IS IT? The 30-foot-high trestle spans the neighborhoods of the Meatpacking District, Chelsea,and the Javits Convention Center area, some 22 blocks,from Gansevoort St up to 34th St along Tenth and Eleventh Aves.

WHAT’S IT GOING TO BE? A public park that consists of an elevated greenway with walking paths

WHEN’S IT GOING TO BE DONE? it’s already under construction; large portions should be completed in 2008, with the rest finished in 2009
