Hudson Yards shares rendering of public open space to dispel reports of 700-foot wall

"There has never been a wall along the High Line and there will never be a wall," Hudson Yards emphasized on Twitter today in response to reports that a 700-foot wall will turn the next phase of development into a veritable gated community. Plans for the Western Yard always included paving over the remaining tracks with a deck that would slope down toward the High Line, but last week, it was reported that developer Related Companies was floating around an idea that would have the deck slope up instead to accommodate a parking garage underneath. It would also essentially wall off the new development's green space and overshadow the High Line. However, Hudson Yards continued in its series of Tweets, "We have always shared the vision that the Western Yard should include a great public open space."

Will Hudson Yards developer swap promised public green space for walled off private park?

Related Companies is gearing up for the second phase of Hudson Yards—the Western Yard—but there's uncertainty about what exactly the developer has planned. To balance the addition of another batch of towering skyscrapers, the Western Yard promised to open itself up to the public with a new school and accessible, High Line-adjacent green space. Now Related appears to be considering walling that part of the development off with a 700-foot-long structure "that would overshadow the High Line, accommodate a parking garage and help make the site more like a quasi-gated community," as the New York Times reports.
