Also on Sunday morning, Roosevelt Island residents received this advisory from RIOC:

Streetline will be closed due to police activity.

Which caused confusion since nobody had any idea what or where is Streetline.

RIOC Public Information Officer Terrence McCauley explained what happened.

At 7:30 AM, NYPD and FDNY responded to a report of someone drowning in the west side of the East River. NYPD and FDNY searches showed negative results

Apparently, Streetline is the west roadway that leads from the subway to Blackwell. It’s the rear of 415 Main Street. We learn something new every day on Roosevelt Island!
