Yesterday evening I received the following e-mail from Deidre Parker, the MTA NYC Transit Spokeperson, regarding F Train weekend subway service affecting Roosevelt Island and the two other stations that are served by the 63rd Street Tunnel. In short we can expect three weekends of service disruptions between now and June 1st:

Changes Affecting 63rd St Tunnel ???
Eric,
There is no northbound F service on the weekend of April 4-6. There is no southbound F service on May 23-26 and May 30-June 1 weekends. Transit is trying to avoid work that affects 63rd Street during the time of the tram outage and will only do a reroute if there is an emergency.

Thanks very much for posting the information! Glad to see the MTA is being considerate of the Tram.
ReplyDeleteI am freaking leaving this island. Have a lot of fun with red bus and the illusion to live in Manhattan.
ReplyDeleteTo the poster above: illusion to live in Manhattan? Hmmm... I can only speak for myself but I am very sure that most live on RI because it is NOT Manhattan while being away only one train stop. And we have the great views.
