Low Line

Last August my niece and I visited the High Line in NYC. It's a park with shops and a path above the streets, following an old elevated train track.

Now I find out there's also a Low Line park located in "lower east Manhattan" that will grow trees and plants below the streets. The site is an abandoned trolley terminal, unused since trolley service ended in 1948.

It won't actually be up and running until maybe 2020, but a "lab" has been constructed to demonstrate the technology and prove that this will, indeed, work. More on this demo next week.
