Ziggy Stardust Under the High Line

It seems like everyone’s excited about the elevated park being planned atop the High Line, the mile-long abandoned railway track that stretches along Manhattan’s West Side Highway from 13th to 33rd Streets. It’s one of those brilliant civic projects that usually get canned for no good reason (budget, safety, unions, etc.) but which has somehow won the heart of the city — as well as much of the cash necessary to make it a reality.
