Status of Roosevelt Island Subway Escalators - Real Improvement Or Pathetic Hope?

Has anyone else noticed that the Roosevelt Island subway escalators not currently undergoing capital repairs seem to be working more reliably the last 7 days or so? Maybe it is just the particular times that I have been using them, but to me the escalators breakdowns seem to be occurring less often than previously. It is pretty pathetic though, that a few days of normal escalator service is cause for celebration.
