To be honest, it’s nice, but doubt its sustainability. Plus, it’s a walking park. There isn’t going to be much sitting and relaxing up there. It’s a nice addition, to be sure, but it’s not the be all end all, by any means.
We should get something like that with the Washington Bridge linear park, no?
Also we don’t have any el lines. Maybe we could have a fungus park through the rail tunnel. Now that would be something.
