Delancy Underground (AKA Low Line)
Proposed underground park in New York's Lower East Side neighborhood. The project aims to convert an unused metropolitan transit terminal beneath Delancey Street into a subterranean park with fiber-optic technology channelling natural light. It's nickname, the Low Line, is a play on the immensely popular High Line park on the west side of the city. According to a New York Times article, "The partners have met several times with officials with the transportation authority, who have expressed interest. And so, a piece of the world under Manhattan may soon have a moment in the sun."

The project creators are James Ramsey (principal at RAAD - Ramsey Architecture And Design) and Dan Barasch
