Roosevelt Island Subway Escalator Now Going Down To Manhattan Bound Platform

Roosevelt Island Escalator takes passenger down to platform

Coming home this afternoon, I noticed that one of the Roosevelt Island escalators leading from the lower level to the Manhattan bound subway platform was operating in the down position. I can't recall ever seeing that. However, both Queens bound platform subway escalators were working in the up direction.

Roosevelt Island 360 previously inquired why all the platform subway escalators had been operating in the up direction and learned the MTA plans:
... with the exception of rush hours, to now split the four escalators up with each platform having one escalator running up and the other down...
It looks like the MTA has started to split the Roosevelt Island subway platform escalators.

Let's hope for the best. I've seen one of the Manhattan platform escalators going down once in the morning. It never happened again. I remember RI360 inquiring about but months have passed and nothing changed.
