I don't think the idea is just to "get away from it all", but it will be an elevated, limited access direct link to Hudson River Park with a variety of activities around it. As an added bonus, it just so happens that the terminus will be in Manhattan's future Hudson Yards development. The first segment is scheduled to open sometime this year, and I can't wait.
I wasn't making any arguments regarding desirability of the area for development. That's not to say I don't think this will be an amazing space, and I have previously stated in my other post that it in fact will be. I was simply questioning the functioning of this space as a park simpliciter.
