I actually though the 7 train extension should continue up along the highline since the extension ends right where the line starts. If you wanted to build a park, it could of been built above the tracks. Than you would actually have a transit line for that section of the city that lacks transit, and also had a walkway above it as well.

The purpose of the Highline park is to get people to enjoy a space elevated from the city. Yes it is long, but its not about getting from one place to another quickly, its about the journey and experience of being there. If they wanted to just move people along, they should have installed the rail on the Highline and not have dealt with park in the first place. Oh and not to mention that theres a tram already below the structure. Im offended by this proposal, whether its real or not.
