    High LinerHoly Cow!  This is still in place after 20 years shut down?  I hate to ask, but why not go out on a limb and make it a public transit corridor - say, like a train track?  
    I like the benches that are designed by skateboarders to grind up the ramps.  
    The concept is wonderful.  I wold love to see what it looks like in 10 years.
