Underground Parks are on their way!
Plans for an underground park in New York City have been introduced, this proposed park would convert an old trolley station into a public park for residents to escape the busy atmosphere of the city above. The plans propose a series of reflective arches to capture sunlight and fiber optic cables to then direct the sunlight down below to the park for the plants that will be growing. Inspired by the already existing park above the city called the Highline, made out of an abandoned stretch of railway, this new park will be called the "Lowline". Similar to many other scientific revalations, this project will not be coming cheap, for the " Lowline" to become a reality $60 million will be needed. Most of that money will be attained through private investors and groups. If this money can be raised in time construction is due to begin in 2019.
