According to Women’s Wear Daily, “Starting at Gansevoort Street (three blocks below 14th Street), the High Line is being extended from 10th Avenue and 30th Street to 12th Avenue and 34th Street. “It’s the first time the High Line is going west,” said Jenny Gersten, executive director of Friends of the High Line.”
