Roosevelt Island Tram Sponsorship Update

Earlier posts inquiring of the potential for corporate sponsorship of the Roosevelt Island Tram have been supplemented by Roosevelt Island 36o who reports that this idea was considered in May 2002 and that RIOC even placed advertisements soliciting ads for the Tram as well as the Tramway Station. I seem to recall such an ad in Crains. Roosevelt Island 360 also:

discovered a May 2001 NYC Council Resolution where it was resolved that NO advertising be placed on the exterior or interior of the Tram cabins. To my understanding as Resolutions are not bills and do not transform into laws it appears that the City Council was trying to express its desire to the State Legislature.

Thanks for the additional information!
