Mayor Slay Tweeted an intriguing question to his followers this morning.

Have you heard of the High Line in NY? It's a linear park on an elevated RR spur. Get ready to meet the Trestle on 6/21. Details soon. #fgs

Are there plans in the works to make something similar to the High Line in our fair city?
The High Line is a public park built atop an abandoned elevated rail line on Manhattan's West Side. It runs nearly fourteen blocks through the city, converting an eyesore into a useful and attractive linear park with much greenery, flowers, viewing stations, benches and a walking path.

This is what High Line looked like before its transformation.
