A great way to re-use the space! In Paris, the raised park has lighting, and the space below is populated with shops and restaurants. Recycle and re-use!

I'm an architect born and raised in a major metropolis (Sao Paulo, Brazil) and I have always been devastated by the horrendous urban footprint created by suspended freeways in the city below. But after experiencing the high line park in NY, my heart has been filled with joy and HOPE once again! The space that opens more space, a different elevation, a different perspective; new corners and surprises are revealed, the city that will morph and grow around this park is absolutely fantastic. May this be an example of future urban intervention. Keep what is, transform what was and let the living city around tell you what it will be.

I agree that some of the before pictures had a great impact, although the new planting is very well done between the floor structure. The best part is being able to walk around the city at a height that you are not used to and being able to see things from a new perspective. An interesting project.

Some observations: i almost prefer the way it looked in 2000, less manicured and designed (but accessing the space was probably more dangerous), there seems to be no lighting, calling into question the safety of this place after dark, and its not wide enough to play frizbee or play catch (just for jogging/strolling). Otherwise, a nice place to get above it all. Offering praise for the effort to reclaim this urban oasis.
