Wow, just wow!
I was in New York for the first time back in the summer of '05. I remember seeing the conceptual plans for all this at the MOMA I think. I thought it would be such an amazing project.
How did I not stumble onto this thread sooner? This looks amazing!
I loved my one visit to New York and have always thought about a trip back sooner rather than later, perhaps I should wait until some of this is completed to really sweeten that trip!
In Calgary we have a set of rail lines running right through our CBD and 'beltline' district. A lot of us Calgary forumers dream of the day when the rail is relocated and we could open up that space to parks and projects like this.
