The conversion of an abandoned set of elevated rail tracks into the High Line created one of New York’s most popular public spaces. A new connector will allow pedestrians to access Moynihan Train Hall from the existing park, with a timber truss pedestrian bridge connecting 30th Street to the Manhattan West platform.
