NeRd aLeRt: "The Low Line "

Some group of idiots want to create a High-Line style park...underground in a former trolley terminal beneath Delancey Street at the foot of the Williamsburg Bridge.  Here's the proposed location and a picture of the original space:

According to this sketch, the park would be lit with solar collectors above ground which would pipe sunlight through fiber optic cables and distribute the light with underground diffusers.

It actually sounds pretty interesting, but ultimately the thought of an underground dimly light park in the LES seems like a glorified homeless shelter.  For example, this indoor park at the Deutsche Bank on Wall Street is above ground and it's homeless chess player city.  Just sayin'.  Looks pretty though.

Fun fact, Starla and I met at The Delancey where we tricked a very drunk JVM into buying us many drinks until the bartender told on us like a little bitch.  Happy belated birthday Starla!
