Old Rail tracks turned Park-High Line Park Manhattan New York

By
Real Estate Agent with Douglas Elliman Real Estate

On the Westside of Downtown Chelsea Manhattan, the High Line was built in the 1930s, as part of a massive public-private infrastructure project called the West Side Improvement. The highline carried freight 30 feet in the air, this way, it removes dangerous trains from Manhattan streets.

High Line has not been used since 1980, in 1999, this historic structure was under threat of demolition. Friends of the High Line, a community-based non-profit group then was formed to preserve and developed an idea to keep this structure as an elevated public park.

High Line park look from the street, it is rised above the street level.

Eileen I learn so much about the city from you Evan and Mitchell. 

 It is so nice when a community reuses a space so that it will benefit the community at large and a park is an ideal project.

Your new profile photo is lovely.
