As Phase II of the High Line puts on the finishing touches, the Times has a roundup of some key stats from Mayor Bloomberg's Friday visit to the park. (Early visits to new parts of the High Line: the best reason to be mayor?) So far the High Line has generated $2 billion in private investment, 8,000 construction jobs, and 12,000 jobs in the neighborhood. Apartment prices nearby have doubled since the park opened. Phase II opens in two days. [NYT; previously]
