The span of the 606 crossing near Milwaukee and Levitt, a section of which runs below the city’s elevated train line, will feature a billboard with rotating art. Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates headed up the overall landscaping design, which will feature plants arranged to bloom as the season develops, “sentinel plants" arranged by artist Francis Whitehead that respond to temperature and climate change over time. The landscaping “goes down to grade,” according to engineer Stan Kaderbek, meaning that the deeper soil levels results in a more integrated, deep-rooted set of plants. Unlike the High Line Park in New York City, the park won't feature plantings added atop the structure. Photo 2 of 6 in Elevated 606 Park Will Transform Chicago
