I'm there. It looks awesome. I especially like how they're utilizing the space where it cuts through the Chelsea Market as a site for public art. I can't wait to check it out.

Can it be cooler than this ?

Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge : The Worlds Longest High Altitude Pedestrian Bridge

An abandoned train trestle that's being converted into a footpath. 1.25 miles long
and 200 feet above the river. They're gonna allow dogs on it too !!!
It's scheduled to open Oct 2 - I can't wait.

The Meatpacking District's newly opened, much-touted urban park along an elevated, former railroad trestle has unwittingly turned into a peep show near The Standard hotel, as randy hotel guests perform sex acts in front of floor-to-ceiling hotel windows.
