Earlier today, we took a major step toward building the final section of the High Line.

The City of New York has launched the public review process for a zoning text amendment that will permanently secure the High Line at the rail yards, including the Spur, as public open space.

Follow us after the jump to read more about this important news for the High Line.

Friends of the High Line today debuted Developing Tray #2, a new artwork by Anne Collier on HIGH LINE BILLBOARD at West 18th Street. The image depicts a developing tray containing a print of a wide open eye – the artist’s eye – submerged in photographic developing fluid.

The artwork will remain on view until Wednesday, February 29. Learn more.

Kids are invited to join us on Sunday, February 5 for a winter scavenger hunt on the High Line, followed by puppet-making and story time at Posman Books in Chelsea Market.

Become a bird for a day and explore how feathered friends hunker down for winter in New York City.
