The Fat Lady has Sung on Roosevelt Island - For Now

The votes of the RIOC Board are in and as expected, both the tennis club license modification and the fourth of the various Roosevelt Island Tram improvement proposals were approved. Of course, the approved Tram proposal was the most expensive of the various alternatives with the longest period of tram downtime. The cost is in the $20-$25 million range. According to RIOC President Shane, the expected (hopefully) period of time that the tram will be out of service is seven months although with efficient and expedited management of the process the tram may be back in service within 5 months.
More tomorrow.
