Preparations to start for building High Line park

I guess we dont have to sneek up on the tracks anymore.



The High Line now: Imagine it as a public park
With construction expected to start soon on the High Line, preparations are beginning in earnest this month for transforming the run of old railroad into a chic public space on the edges of the Meatpacking District and Chelsea. Railroad tracks and ties will be tagged and removed as will the gravel ballast. Lead-based paint will be stripped from the steel structure and anti-pigeon devices will be installed for the yearlong preparation phase. more [Villager]
