SATURDAY,
OCTOBER 30: JOIN FHL FOR A SCREENING OF HIGH LINE TV SHOW
Please
join FHL to view a one-hour TV program about the High Line.
The program is part of the "Jane's New York" series
on WNBC TV Channel 4 (broadcasting in the New York metropolitan
area)—and
it's the first program to focus so comprehensively on the High
Line, its history, its future, and many of the individuals
who've dedicated themselves to the High Line project. The program
includes spectacular new footage of the High Line's elevated
rail bed and interviews with individuals actively involved
with the project, such as photographer Joel Sternfeld; actor/FHL
boardmember Edward Norton; New York City Council Speaker Gifford
Miller; design team leads James Corner and Elizabeth Diller;
FHL co-founders Joshua David and Robert Hammond; and many others. Special
thanks to CSX Transportation for permitting Jane's New
York to film on the High Line; and to Pyburn Films, the producers
of Jane's New York, for creating such a great program.
As
part of FHL's Track Heads series of informal get-togethers,
we will gather at Freight, a bar and restaurant in the Chelsea
Market building, to view the program on large-screen TV.
Alternately, you can view the program at home at the same
time.

HUNDREDS
ATTEND OCTOBER 19 COMMUNITY INPUT FORUM
At
the High Line Community Input Session on October 19, over 350
people gathered to meet the team of Field Operations with Diller
Scofidio + Renfro. The team introduced its initial concepts
and design visions. Then participants broke into small groups
to discuss the presentation and frame responses to help guide
the team as it continues its work. FHL thanks all the forum
participants for taking the time to be an active part of the
High Line design process. We will distribute a summary of the
forum's findings in our next E-Mail Newsletter.

THURSDAY,
DECEMBER 2: NEXT COMMUNITY INPUT FORUM
The
next High Line Community Input Forum has been scheduled for
December 2. This will be an important opportunity for the community
to guide the design team's work at a crucial stage. By
December 2, the team will have been working for two months
and their design for the High Line will have advanced. Still,
enough time will remain in the design process for comment at
the December 2 forum to affect the outcome of the design in
real and significant ways.
To RSVP, email community@thehighline.org;
or call (212) 206-9922.
We will announce the Forum's location in our next E-Mail Newsletter.
