sorry kid, but this is a great idea, graphiti only involves a few select people that partake in it, a park three stories above the ground and 1.5 miles long will be a good thing for everyone.
Hi High Liners, I'm an Aussie Railway Enthusiast and have come across your High Line efforts through a couple of searches and your Website. Look like an ambitious ptroject you guys have. I dont suppose though the High Line will ever see trains again? Lools like it was an interesting Railway.
Would love to see a DVD of it in operation as a railway! :-D
This is all well and good but it is taking YEARS to get this off the ground (so to speak). It's frustrating that NYC can't get their act together on this, or the new World Trade Center, or the 2nd avenue subway line but they can drop 15 million on those ridiculous waterfalls on the east river without a second thought!
that was really well done. I really like the highline and I can't wait till it becomes a park. Imagine walking down a beautiful field surrounded by flickering skyscrapers at night.
Thank you for your response; you talk of Gaze Theory, nowadays it has to match the non-subtleties of the opportunist mugger, or the vandal..
Camera evidence is admissable as evidence in court; compared with the timid stay-at-homes who may only gaze at the potential event, to re-inforce their original idea.
With so many cameras around, there is always the new problem, of being fasionably dressed.
I don't know about a "tucked away" up there you will need to have a lot of closed circut television cameras A LOT so there can be no bad security incidents.
Cameras that have face recognition capabilities; plus loudspeakers connected to the security cameras.
And glass elevators from the street, for secure disabled access.
I would be frightened to go up on to it otherwise.
the intersting thing is that it is completely surrounded by buildings, sooo for instance the neo urbanist theory states that with eyes upon a location activity tends to be harmless.. aka when people look out there windows and people know that, it discourages bad behavior. guilt and potential watching are an amazing deterrant ^_^ just a thought from an archi student

Thank you Josuha, Robert, Ed and other Friends of the High Line. My childhood memories from the 1950's (while living at 69 W. 90th, a block from Central Park) include what my family called, "Little Central Park," the High Line. You are creating another environment for beautiful memories for others. Bravo! Denise Beasley Johnson/Texas.

This is an ambitious project slated to open in the Fall. It has always been scheduled to open in the Fall. It is currently SUMMER. Geez.

I was in NYC in March this year and thought it was due to open this summer. Is it still not finished yet?

Has security been considered at all, let me know.
