City To Spend $20,000 On Embankment Hopes

The elevated sixth street embankment that has recieved quite a bit of attention as developer Steve Hyman attempts to replace the structure with condos. The land was sold to them by by Conrail and now the city is spending $20,000 to study whether the sale of the land was legal. The city seems to be at least placating those arguing for building a park on the property. Proponents of preserving the lot want either as a ground level park or one modeled on a similar elevated rail line proposed for Manhattan. People against the proposed condos have been rallied by Embankment.org, a website who's mission is saving the old rail line.
