Lowline (park)
The Lowline, formally known as the Delancey Underground, is a proposal for the world's first underground park in the New York City borough of Manhattan that would be located under the eastbound roadway of Delancey Street on the Lower East Side, adjacent to the Essex Street station (). Co-founders James Ramsey and Dan Barasch〔 have suggested natural light would be directed below ground using fiber optics—described in the proposed plan as "remote skylights"〔("HuffPost Arts Interviews James Ramsey On His Astounding Plans For A NY Underground Park (PHOTOS) " ) ''Huffington Post'', 23 February 2012.〕—to provide an area in which trees and grass could be grown beneath the city streets.〔McCarthy, Megan. ("Episode 6: James Ramsey of Low Line – Bringing the Underground to Light" ). ''New York Observer''.〕 Light collectors would be placed at ground level, with suggested locations, including the median on Delancey Street. Artificial lighting would be used to supplement the redirect sunlight, and at night and when the sun is obscured by clouds. The area, with ceilings high, extends three blocks east from Essex Street to Clinton Street and was used until 1948 as a station and balloon loop for streetcars crossing the Williamsburg Bridge to and from Brooklyn.〔Foderaro, Lisa W. ("Inspired by High Line, Park Is Envisioned With Sights Set Low" ), ''The New York Times'', November 21, 2011. Accessed November 21, 2011.〕〔(Plans for Delancey Underground presented to Community Board 3 )〕 R. Boykin Curry IV is the third urban entrepreneur behind the proposal.〔
== History ==
The large trolley terminal that is the site has sat unused for 60 years.〔 The project was first proposed in 2011 and quickly generated widespread media attention.〔(Official website )〕
In 2012, the project raised over $150,000 from 3,300 backers on Kickstarter to create a full-scale exhibition of the solar lighting technology.〔(LowLine Creators Reach Initial Fundraising Goal On Kickstarter )〕 The project was named by Mashable as one of the top Kickstarter projects of that year.〔(Kickass Kickstarter Projects )〕 In September 2012 an installation was opened on the Lower East Side to promote the project; titled "Imagining the Lowline," it consisted of a 30-foot wide aluminum solar canopy distributing natural sunlight onto a live cultivated landscape "park." The exhibit saw over 11,000 visitors and featured design talks, school visits, weekend street fairs and a political event. The executive producer of the exhibit was Robyn Shapiro and the industrial designer was Ed Jacobs with support from Brandt Graves.〔(The Lowline, New York's Revolutionary Underground Park, Says Let There Be Light | Co.Exist: World changing ideas and innovation )〕
