Mind blowing and inspiring. This is the type of design that makes a great city. I hope to see more of it.

@ruzzelladrian907 4 года назад

People hate walking far distances, but with the High Line, they love it.

@outdoormusings7688 2 года назад

The High Line was a great place to walk. I was there over the weekend and enjoyed it very much.

@JustinHalford 2 года назад

I live right off of the High Line! It is truly a wonderful getaway right in Manhattan. Chicago has a similar scaled down version called the 606 trail that I would also recommend.

@SicilianStealth Год назад

Same here. I'm 22&10.

@georgewu53 11 лет назад

I just watch this video again and again. It cheers me up every time. Although it is not as magnificent as Central Park , but in term of turning around the city, I think it is far more significant. Only Cheonggycheon in Seoul can ride in parallel with High Line Park of New York for the achievement.

Watching this in 2017. I live a block from thi . I am so glad I took advantage of Highline early, it was a dream. But now there is sooo much traffic on the Highline, I avoid it like the plague. The area is so dreadful that my blood-pressure goes up. I'll be glad when the trendiness dies down.

put the cap on the CBE ! cross bronx expressway . use new land from cap project to build affordable housing. put a cap on RR tracks, north park ave line - bronx, 132 st -190 st. use land for affordable housing. build on the long island sound " A florida keys style overseas highway " . this will relieve the CBE

@georgewu53 11 лет назад

"No plan. No money. No relevant experience." That is all Robert Hammond and Joshua David started with in 1999, when they decided that the abandoned High Line railroad in New York had to be saved. These two heroes have created an unbelievable success. However, Hammond claimed that the success of High Line Park can be attributed to his lack of a concrete plan. Interesting enough.

@georgewu53 11 лет назад

It was such a simple idea, but it was so creative. I have lived in Big Apple for 15 years in 80's and passed by that place from time to time. It was so depressed, I just don't know how the city going to do with it. Now, there comes High Line Park. A miracle. It should be cited as 7 miracles of our modern age. Solute to the two young creators for what they brought to the city. They are our role model and our hero. They have turned a trash into a golden mine.

@moonpagan 14 лет назад

I live on a tiny rainforest covered island on the west coast of Canada; seeing something of this nature and magnitude done in the city of New York is incredibly inspiring. I love it. :) Ron. ( ;-} >

@baruchtoast 11 лет назад

Actually, that's not a solar panel thing, it's a lighted indicator to let you know that there's a fire alarm pull box nearby (usually on one of the corners of that intersection).

@liduck52 13 лет назад

If I were making a movie, I would shoot a scene up there.

@SicilianStealth Год назад

As a Chelsea Manhattan resident who lives on 22nd and 10th filming crews are a natural site here in the area. And keep the filming crews off The High Line.

@rubberbaby00 13 лет назад

I heard about India installing elevated pedestrian walkways, I think that is the future.

@SicilianStealth Год назад

There is elevator access at 14th street, 17th street, 23rd Street and 30th Street there you go.

Please cite clearly: the main designer of High Line Park is landscape architect James Corner

@richardblue6346 12 лет назад

The High Line is TERRIFIC!! One of the best uses of urban renewal I have ever seen. The city should sell it more. I found that European visitors knew more about it than visitors from this country. It should be one of the PRIME attractions.

@liduck52 11 лет назад

So far I've seen two movies that have shot scenes on the highline. What Maizie Knew and Side Effects.

@no40 10 лет назад

great renovation!......if only the walkways were wider though

@SicilianStealth Год назад

Seriously? Because some other schmoe just said they should have more greenery. Depending on which phase as there were three depending on which one you're in dictates whether it's wide open or narrow.

@georgewu53 11 лет назад

The size of Cheonggycheon construction project is probably much much bigger than High Line Park. If you take a look of old picture of Cheonggycheon after Korean War, then you can see how bad that place was. It was a cancer of Seoul. High Line Park is probably more creative, it turns an abandon high rise railway into an fascinating park for people to walk and hang around. I love and admire both projects for what they bring to the people.

@DavidByrne85 11 лет назад

Lets be honest, the genius is in the idea and the location, not the way the bushes are arranged

@SicilianStealth Год назад

Accept the bush's aren't arranged they are the natural plant life that grew on The High Line before it became a park.

@AlaskanTrain21 11 лет назад

How cool would it be if they managed to integrate a railroad that still worked into the park and you could ride the train down the park?

@SicilianStealth Год назад

Are you freaking kidding me? It would be dangerous to say the least what a ridiculous idea I live here and we used to do things up there that I wouldn't mention in public. The whole point was to get rid of the trains it went into disrepair in 1980 that's the point.

@SicilianStealth Год назад

When I still lived at home in Rye New York and commuted to Grand Central terminal I was a member of The Saint. I live on 22nd and 10th Avenue back then there were the original leather bars the eagle and the spike. My block then decadent dangerous and deserted is now all art galleries and we did things up on The High Line before it was the high line that would curl your toes. While it is a welcome addition to the area if I find you walking a dog that is in the service dog or you're smoking a cigarette up there I'm going to get you ticketed and I don't care if nothing is growing there you are compacting the soil do not walk into the bushes it is a public park funded privately and this is my home if you can't respect it then you shouldn't be here.

@dc_dom 13 лет назад

@SicilianStealth Год назад

It was an elevated railway that stopped working in 1980 called The High Line. That's where the name comes from perhaps you should stick to finding Waldo.

@Honorarkonsul1081 10 лет назад

Those solar panels are for the call boxes not the lighting take it from somebody who commuted to Grand Central on a 30-year period and now is the Chelsea Manhattan resident.

Only for the middle class to use I suspect soon. There will be social cleansing in the 'slums' that the high line runs through.

Why the hell not it was a disused in disrepair elevated railway since 1980 I love it and I live here don't like it don't go.

@thequake180 11 лет назад

No street lamps? Does the park close as soon as the sun starts to go down? That's a shame. I used to love taking an early evening stroll in the park after work where I used to live. But its not very fun when its hard to see where you're going.

@SicilianStealth Год назад

Street lamps what do you think this is a New York Street this is a park there are flood lights you can see plenty of where you're going I live here and you don't know what you're talking about. Plus depending on the season is when it opens and closes.

@thequake180 Год назад

@@SicilianStealth you never heard of street lights before? every city in the modern world has something called street lights that usually lights up after dark so people can see where they are going at night. do you live in a third world country? then maybe its a "luxury" you can only dream of.

@avq5 13 лет назад

its good but it needs some vending machines and turn part of it into a flea market

@SicilianStealth Год назад

Disgusting comment. This is Manhattan not Walmart. The Flea Market is on 30th Street.

@donniemoder1466 4 года назад

A great accomplishment, but the consequence is that real estate interests built on both sides of the tracks and the experience is similar to walking down a dark noisy tunnel or narrow back alley. Now, the arty verbiage by the Times reporter and architect is understood now to be just a bunch of bs.

@xkino 7 лет назад

This seems like a cool place, but I don't understand the point. Why have a park on a railroad line? Who would want to use this place? It seems like walking around is a very limited kind of activity.

@NeivGabay 7 лет назад

Nate Mickelson what?

@SicilianStealth Год назад

The point is is to add more greenery and space it was a unused rail mine since 1980 and went into disrepair it has brought tourism. Who would want to use it ask all those people walking up there now maybe if you actually went and knew what you were talking about you wouldn't come off as a dunsel. Because it extends from 34th Street all the way down to Gansevoort. Phase one has kiosks and places to eat and there's accessible to Chelsea Market.

@lemsip207 11 лет назад

That would be great. Restore it back to what it was built for originally instead of a linear park for yuppies that the disabled have no access to.

@tackywhale5664 6 лет назад

As a railroad fan, I am disgusted that they would essentially put tracks back into the line and surround it again with vegetation, just as it was when the line was abandoned. ABANDONED. Absolutely NOTHING ever looks truly good if it looks like it's abandoned, and railroads are no exception under ANY circumstances whatsoever. At the very least, they should either have spaces of laid track that are devoid of vegetation and and are surrounded only by ballast or concrete or have no track at all and only vegetation arround the planned walkway. Not both, please. It looks truly awful that way.

@SicilianStealth Год назад

Wow. Actually the tracks are part of The High Line it was an elevated railway that's the point dumbass. And those tracks where they are never moved they stayed there. They built the park around the tracks I live here I know.

While the novelty has worn off we did things up there before it was the high line that would curl your toes we're better off with it than without it as there are plenty of things to do up there you just don't know what you're talking about now go remind your parents why you should have been aborted.
