- Stretching more than 1.5 miles over New York City, the iconic High Line elevated park is now connected to Penn Station. This new life for the formerly abandoned railroad tracks puts a whole new spin on a public park. Jill Schlesinger has more.

This is what the streets of NYC should be like. They should be fully pedestrianized and full of trees. We don't need a grid of car sewers, we need pleasant streets.
Are there any homeless in that park?
@@LebronCCPlet me fill you in. Originally from Rye New York I was once homeless in White Plains. But I have been a Chelsea Manhattan resident for over 20 years now. The High Line is a public park funded privately. During summer hours it stays open later but when closes Gates come down at the stairwells and the elevators for handicapped accesses are turned off on the upper level. While I've met some very nice people up there I avoided like the plague because it's now overrun with tourists. Instead of tourist management is tourist promotion. It goes over my street and I avoid it like the plague.
Well this is Manhattan. As a Chelsea Manhattan resident since 2004 I can destroy you my block is just fine it's all art galleries were thirty years ago none of this was here and I still lived at home in Rye New York. Each tree has a granite pillars installed next of different varying sizes installed in 1995 they are imported from Germany. My street looks just fine you want more trees go plant one.
@@LebronCCP So you don’t want green spice because of the homeless? witch do you hate trees or people? i’m sure you support policy that hurt both.
@@gabrielmaroto18 huh? Where did I say I hate homeless or trees?
I love this part of NYC. Thank you so much for reporting about this.
So like $50 million to build this. Which is still cheaper than redoing a half mile of roads in NYC. Keep making NYC more. Pedestrian and bike friendly.
The pathway is a little narrow because all the flora and gardens, especially when it's crowded, but it's still a treat for the city. Everything is really nice, and the architecture of the adjacent buildings are fabulous. It's what Gotham should be.
It does not go to the Moynihan train terminal at all. They say that just to justify spending the funds, but you need walk through the Hudson yards for a whole block and across the street to get to Moynihan.
Good. I was getting afraid that connecting directly to Moynihan would flood the highline with luggage-toting tourists. It's already become a somewhat insufferable tourist trap to begin with.
I was in NYC recently and yeah it doesn’t connect to highline at all
The path begins at the 9th ave entrance of the train hall, so you don’t have to cross streets at street level. Does the actual bridge connect to the train hall? No. There’s no reason for it to do so🙄
infrastructure + clean streets + low crime = bustling city for all
Beautiful, bold, enriching the air. Bravo 👏 New York!
I went to the high line and the noise from traffic ruined the experience. Trucks are extremely loud that it hurts and this is due to regulations. Trucks in Germany are almost without noise and have filters etc.
Sounds like you don‘t belong in NYC or any city for that matter. Traffic noise is demonstrably less than if you were walking street level. your expectations are way out of proportion to what’s feasible
@@corriemayo2715 i leaved in Monaco Monte Carlo and in Nice and Berlin major cities with quite trucks and trains. Friends told me same in Japan, Malaysia etc.
great infrastructure! I love NY
Heartbeat on the high line once in 20 lifetimes
If you read this I hope you have a wonderful weekend ❤
50 million dollars for a footbridge? Really?
Corruption bro
Was there in December, can't wait to see it finished!
I’m not really feeling the peace when I hear constant noise in the background throughout this interview.
What low income people is need is not to have an opportunity to be in the presence of wealthy people, what they need is a better quality of life through universal health care, a higher minimum wage and affordable housing.
*Patrick Moynihan's Ghost: "Please stop referring to it as my **_train hole._** "*
A nearly 5 minute item about a small expansion of the High Line that's basically just 2 bridges... that cost $50 million. Okay...
It's beautiful there, perfect place to put the tourists.
I wonder what that money would have done to have facilities and big brother programs in the poverty community???
So do people want cars or pedestrian areas? Stop the automobile. This is not enough
Meanwhile, 46,154, US bridges are considered structurally deficient and nearly 231,000 need major repair work or should be replaced.
What happens to the ground level businesses ? Seems like a good idea but ignores the real issues in US cities: trucks suck
Beautiful, but only for the super rich. None of the condos surrounding the High Line is affordable for the average person.
As a born and raised New Yorker, this 1,000% was not needed. That money could have been put towards things that are actually necessary smh
The last thing to be transported when it was still a railroad was frozen turkeys.
I think they overpaid
$50 million for a Bridge that's purely aesthetic... Not like it's going over a river or something, it's literally a bridge on top of the crosswalk below
LITERALLY . Such a waste of money
Yeah, like standing in front of a Rothko at the Guggenheim doesn't transport you down to the Battery.
The governor’s statement was more than hyperbolic. Symbol of resilience, lol.
Well, they had to cut down huge Alaskan Cedars to make the bridge trusses, and then get them to NYC, so there is $25M of it…
It's a connection to an elevated public green space that thousands of people use on a weekly basis and enjoy. The crosswalk are for people on the street. The highline brings an incalculable amount of money into that neighborhood from tourists who are there to experience the highline not to mention makes the city more livable. For only $20 million in public money, it's worth it.
What's in it for Brookfield? Do the stops conveniently connect to their malls?
50 mil on a bridge?
That red tree sculpture is tragic. 😂
Highline is over crowded
Two small bridges cost $50mill? haha, sure. We all know they were pocketing a lot of that.
All this hyperbolic excitement over a dinky little bridge??
nice
Too much $ for little reward.
Hochul is such a caricature of a typical corrupt politician
It needs to be open 24/7. It’s more a tourist attraction than a legitimate way to walk places for people that live here. Also, $50 million is pathetic. Unions have made it impossible to actually build anything.
You don’t think prohibitive development policies and bureaucracy are more of a culprit…?
@@Noremac5223 I think it's all part of the same thing. Everybody wants to get their cut vs. actually efficiently build something that contributes positively to society.
@@Noremac5223prohibitive development policies. You described NYC unions perfectly. Nothing gets built without them. If you see them on construction sites, a group of ten of them with 3 working, 7 just looking on doing nothing.
how are you going to blame organized labor? The true hidden costs come from city permitting and approvals not paying workers fair compensation lol
Hokul is a Joke!
50 million? that's why our nation can't advance enough to tackles our infrastructure needs.
Derp
So much stilted gibberish to describe a new urban public space.
I can't believe Trump inc wasn't involved in making this a reality he's knowing and powerful?!
Not sure if joking.
That “Timberline bridge” looks (unfortunately) ready to be COVERED in graffiti!!! ……good luck NYC!!
They should have painted it with murals tbh.
I’m sorry but that bridge is hideous. That color and design don’t fit in the “New York” look. 😬😑🤦♂️
Puts the migrants on it !
Nice, until Gov. Hokul closes it with the next pandemic or the muggings start line Central Park.
As long as Trump isnt president during the next pandemic, we wont have to close parks and businesses. If he had taken the virus seriously, we would have lost fewer American lives.
Why do New York is the greatest city in the world, the highest rent, taxes, gun, homeless, smoke shops , what else, yea we are. Thanks
In no particular order: best museums, incredible restaurants, lots of jobs, and in comparison to most other places, very few guns. There are people from all over the world living in the city, and with that melding of cultures that keeps the city vibrant. Great transportation options. People can live their whole lives without learning how to drive. This is just off the top of my head. There's more.
Nothing says New York resiliency better than a 600 ft long bridge.
That cost $83.3K a foot 😝🤡
This is neat, big props to the visionaries who saw the potential in this and made it happen
This is a much needed addition. Getting to and from the Highline by subway was not easy.
I moved out of the tri state in 2009 but it’s truly one of my favorite things to do when I’m back in the city
Who cares? I thought they were going to make the high line longer, expanding uptown.
$50M for a ped bridge?????????? 90% of that went to paper pushing and bureaucracy
more like90% to corrupt politicians, labor union leaders and mob bosses.
Did they make sure to have a board which has a committee which ranks consultants based on how much they charge to grade construction firms, then choose the cheapest option after a half-assed engineering team of one or two people gives the OK?
Wasn’t the High Line a design of Piet Oudolf?
This is great news, looks beautiful!
Is there wheelchair access to this bridge?
Yes
It's beautiful and nice but it's such a late 20th century project... Raising pedestrain above the street is the result of the monopolization of the streets by cars in the early 20th century. With the end of gasoline, climate change and the scarcity of ressources to build electric cars, car ownership is going to drop 90% in the next decade or two, so it's time to reclaim the streets from the cars and give it back to pedestrians, as streets have always been for thousands of years.
It’s simpeler to block roads ,and get rid of the car. And make it a walkway.
great work!!
Alaskan Cedar that was harvested in Oregon and sent to Vancouver to be sent to New York
The Highland is one of my favorite spots in NYC.
Highline
All the ugly car canyons should be covered with the High Line. These should weave throughout the city connecting all the parks and public spaces. Also, I love the integration of wood into those bridges... a very different, more natural feel from the sea of concrete and glass.
Don't bother, with the highline, it's highly overrated, just another waste of time, Nothing there.
How many tons of Co2 were expelled getting that wood to NY????
50 million for a wooden bridge, Merica!🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
More like NYC for ya, I'm sure the teamsters and the mob got their cut too.
$50 million for a Bridge that's purely aesthetic... Not like it's going over a river or something, it's literally a bridge on top of the crosswalk below
Has anyone done an audit of where those funds were spent?
LOL you want to audit a construction project in NYC? Good luck...Tony Soprano will be having a word with you.
You're still checked by noise and pollution. It's like putting makeup on a monkey lol "greenery"
Derp
brought to you by: anti-homeless architecture, probably.
why is this a big deal?...you built a pedestrian bridge that was way overpriced. Let me know when something happens that doesn't have the bureaucratic stain all over it.
Was nice when it first opened. Now it’s overrun by tourists. It’s awful!
Baltimore needs something like this! Just so old and dated
It's notable that among the imagery selected for this was people doing yoga in front of a Whole Foods, especially when they mentioned the developer interest.
Maybe the community should start raising money for highways like the one in Philadelphia that collapsed. Amazing how America struggles to fund a pedestrian bridge but as soon as a car drives over it, the money for it is "No Problem"
Caused by a fire, KNOB.
Um, "America" didn't "struggle" to build an unnecessary pedestrian bridge NYC pedestrians never asked for and didn't need. The "bridge" near Philadelphia was an overpass on an interstate highway that came down not because it was old infrastructure but because an 18 wheel oil tanker exploded underneath it. Your comment can best be described as confidently ignorant.
Why did they use Oregonian trees and not native New York trees? Seems like they could have cut the shipping expenses down, reducing that $50,000,000 pricetag,
Wonderful - now the creeps from the station have better access to victims.
was there recently, so many homeless people...
This is what happens in “Democratic Cities”!!!
This has nothing to do with political parties.
