High Line developers invite public input for final phase


Friends of the High Line, the non-profit group that oversees development of the West Side elevated park, has decided to open the final phase up to the public for input on what should grow on the tracks surrounding the Related Companies’ Hudson Yards development in the future, the New York Observer reported.

Until recently, it had not been clear whether the final section of elevated train track would be preserved for the High Line as the city worked to redevelop the site, but the Bloomberg administration and Related have both thrown their weight behind the project.

Friends of the High Line has issued a Request for Proposals on YouTube, inviting interested parties to a meeting tonight to discuss the last phase of the park (see video above). [NYO]
