Secret proposal for "Even Higher Line" on top of New York's High Line revealed
New York City planners are working on secret plans for a controversial new pedestrian walkway on top of the High Line, dubbed "The Even Higher Line".
The plans, which were leaked to Dezeen, involve turning the former elevated railway into a multi-storey attraction, increasing visitor capacity while allowing for social distancing.
The development would also allow real-estate owners to double the height of buildings adjacent to the High Line in exchange for backing the proposal.
The current walkway would be reserved for northbound walking. Photo is by Timothy Schenk
