As seen this morning and newly washed by last night's rain storm both new Roosevelt Island Tram cabins sit across from Southtown's plaza waiting for their November service debut.
It was reported yesterday by the Roosevelt Islander that the October return to service date has now been delayed until November, three months after the original date POMA and RIOC promised.

The tram modernization project is a waste of tax payer money. The tram is a luxury. It was relevant before train service was on the island. It was working fine prior to getting shut down. Tax payer dollars should be spent on a viable pedestrian compatible connection with manhattan.
ReplyDeletefall for arts is for the new people on the island . we never had a fall for arts all the years i have been living here . i will not go to it . its for the new people who are paying market rent to live here . long live eastwood and bring back affordable housing,
ReplyDeletethere are people who are pushing in apartment doors in roosevelt landings . make sure you lock your door .
ReplyDeletethe new people moving into roosevelt landing dont know what really goes on in these buildings . ha ha ha
ReplyDeleteYou people are idiots. What's with the "new people" crap? We all live here. Some of us have moved from the WIRE buildings to Southtown. Are we now considered "new people". Fall for Arts was for everyone. Whoever stayed home missed a great event. And, I can't wait for the "new" TRAM.
ReplyDeletefall for arts is for the new people on the island .they are all white there are no new black people moving . only white people .this is what rioc wants,the owner wants all the sec8 people to move out of eastwood . he thinks we are low lifes because we get sec8 to pay these market rents . he wants to make roosevelt landings a high class building but it will never happend as long as you got people living here on welfare ssi . soc sec . and all other hand outs .so too bad for him.but sill there are morons moving in paying market rent 'what fools/bring back affordable housing to roosevelt island.saturday i saw all these new people on the island at fall for arts they make me sick.
ReplyDeleteBaby daddy...you have issues. You're a racist and a cynic. This is America...home to everyone - from all backgrounds. And, for the record, RIOC doesn't own Roosevelt Landings. Urban American does.

ReplyDeleteto all you young professionals its because of you that the rents have gone too high on this island , why dont you all move to the upper east side .where you all belong .there is no more affordable housing on the island because of you . i hate all of you
ReplyDeleteto all you young professionals going to work in the morning holding your lattes from starbucks .i hope ypu drop it all over your designer clothes.i hate what has become of this island . this island was made for low and middle income people . not you people . i hate the new bar its where all the new young professionals go i will not go there i am a middle class person ,rioc can go to hell for letting this happend .
ReplyDeletethe main street wire never prints the true things that are happening on the island . because they dont want the new people to know whats really going on . they cover everything up . but the old timers know what goes on . dont we ha ha ha . after all. these new people are paying the market rent .
ReplyDeleteBabymama, are you are a white male trying to incite racism on the island? Keep it up; you will succeed.
ReplyDeletei am a white woman .
ReplyDeletethats how dumm you are in a few more years you will not be seeing many black people living on this island . cant you see all these new people are white. you are a fool if you cannot see what is happending to this island cant you understand this is what the money people on this island want .they do not want low and middle income people living here, if they did. they would build one affordable housing building here . what doses that tell you . you are a fool .more and more working middle income people who were put into sec8 are losing their apartments as the rent is getting to high as they work and the rent keeps going up 30 percent as their pay goes then then are making too much to stay in sec8 and now must pay the market . so they move out .why do you think there are so many vacant apartments in eastwood . this is the reason why .see sec8 is not good for working middle income people . just ask ron vass he this this to us to all sec8 , welfare ssi and everyone getting handouts do not move out this what these people want us to do they want to change the building over .this is the plan .
ReplyDeletei hate the new people who have moved onto the island . long live eastwood .to all the oldtimers on the island . dont move . this is what they want . they want all us low and middle income people off the island . dont let this happend .. we will not let the new people take this island from us . this island was made for mixed income . low and middle class . we must all stay .we must demand that a affordable housing be build here ..
