Help the Delancey Underground Raise $75,000 to Build the LowLine Park

If you’ve been reading Inhabitat you probably know that we’re rooting for the Delancey Underground’s ambitious plan to build a subterranean public park on the Lower East Side. Called the “LowLine,” the underground park would add to the city’s amazing network of open spaces from the High Line to the proposed Waterfront Park in Brooklyn. But in order for what is currently an empty underground trolley terminal to become the Delancey LowLine, they need to raise funds. To that end, the Delancey Underground project is in the midst of a 75 day fundraising drive to raise $75,000. An anonymous donor has promised to write a check for $75,000 if other contributors can raise an equal amount of cash for the LowLine Summer Challenge by August 15. The $150,000 would be a huge boost to a project that has already scored the support of local businesses, community leaders and residents.

Let There Be Light: Low Line Exhibit Now Open at Mark Miller Gallery in the Lower East Side

"Let There Be Light," an exhibit exploring what could be the next High Line, but underground, opened on Sunday, April 1st, at Mark Miller Gallery in Manhattan's Lower East Side. The Delancey Underground, often referred to as the "Low Line," was co-founded by designer James Ramsey of Raad Studio and social entrepreneur Dan Barasch. Their aim is to transform an abandoned trolley terminal beneath Delancey Street into a public park. To get an idea of how the two plan to create this cutting edge new green space, be sure to visit the exhibition that features drawings, 3D models, photographs, and a life-size rendering of the potential park. If you love this idea as much as we do, you definitely want to check out the exhibit before the end of the month!
