High Line update

The High Line project could be read as a definitional infrastructurist moment, except, of course and as usual, there seems to be no recognition that users of a space like to see, hmmm, the constructedness of things.
I would like to see the absolute minimum intervention: merely making the high line accessible to pedestrians. That is all that is required. But by the time they finish, there will probably be a bloody food court up there.
