Review Proposed Design Of New Manhattan and Roosevelt Island Tram Stations - Attend Community Presentation On August 2 To Provide Your Feedback
During the July 26 Operations Committee Meeting of the Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) Board of Directors, a design presentation was made for the proposed new Roosevelt Island Tram Manhattan
and Roosevelt Island Stations by BL Company's Maria Wilpon.
Among the proposed design elements for the stations is a low red canopy for the waiting area providing protection against harsh weather elements such as rain and cold - the area can be heated during the winter months and sliding glass doors that will open for the arriving Tram cabins but will be closed during all other times. There will also be an opening between the sliding doors and canopy to provide air circulation for the waiting area.
The full presentation is below with the proposed floor plans including increasing the number of turnstiles for the new stations and enlarging the waiting area. You can follow the entire presentation by listening to the Operations Committee web cast.
Tram Station Improvement Presentation
There will be a special community presentation of the proposed Tram Station Design on Monday, August 2nd, 5:30 PM at the Manhattan Park Community Center (8 River Road). Representatives will be present to answer questions.
