the final section of the highline is taking shape. its the highline spur, which runs along now under the wing of the coach tower on w30th st and terminates over 10th av.

historically, it connected to the post office bldg back when it was in use.

after we saved it from demolition, the highline park plan for it underwent two changes prior to settling on its current final form.

first was the 2012 jeff koons train plan, to dangle a real locomotive engine over it.




next was the 2013 bowl plan, which proved to be too elaborate.




the final plan is much more conservative. it incorporates all the features people like about the highline park.
