Re-Discovering and Re-Imagining the Staten Island North Shore Railroad

Staten Island’s North Shore Railroad corridor is defunct and largely disused.  This project, initiated in the Core 4 Urbanism Studio at YSOA, is a research-based public engagement that questions the past, present, and future of this potentially valuable civic asset.   

The work was installed at the Stapleton Branch of the New York Public Library in Staten Island, open to the public between April 12 and April 20, with two faciliated workshops.
