Hudson River Park Heliport Fights for its Life

Various West Side groups are trying to sue the West 30th Street heliport into oblivion, because it's way too noisy and pollutey for a park. Plus, the Hudson River Park is only permitted to have a heliport for non-tourist/non-recreation purposes, and this one is pretty much all tourists, all the time. Heliport operator Air Pegasus knows the chips are stacked against it, so the company has a plan: While the Hudson River Park Trust figures out where to stick them, why not move the heliport 100 feet offshore onto a pair of barges? This idea is totally awesome, if only because it birthed the rendering seen above. Has the West Side Highway ever looked more adorable?
