This is something I became aware of a while ago. It is a project similar to the "High Line" project in which they created a park on the old elevated subway tracks, but underground. People seem to be reclaiming space and turning it into green space, but this takes the idea to a whole other level. Check out the link from WCBS880.com, complete with video of the space as it is now.

UPDATE: Dan Barasch and James Ramsey have a Kickstarter Campaign going to fund their Low Line project. Get involved in this unique idea by donating a couple of dollars to the project. Even $5 helps. <sigh> 'Gotta love the ingenuity of New York and its people!
