A post from last December included a request from a reader for acceptance of credit card payments at Roosevelt Island's Motorgate Garage:

I recently parked at the garage and there is no sign posted that they do not accept credit cards. Not even on the entrance. I have never gone to a parking garage that did not accept credit cards. The only place to get cash out is Gristedes. I would like to see the garage accept credit cards...maybe you can help!

Well reader, your good idea has now been implemented. RIOC President Steve Shane sent in the following message:

BTW, credit cards are now accepted at Motorgate.

The next step is to get the vendors at the Roosevelt Island Saturday Farmers Market to accept credit or debit cards.

UPDATE 11 AM - The 4/1 -4/2 Public Safety Report advises that two vehicles were found to have car windows broken in the garage:

Criminal Mischief/Petit Larceny - PSD officer observed two vehicles with broken windows in parking garage. PSD conducted search with negative results. Items were taken from both vehicles. NYPD responded and made a police report.

UPDATE 4PM - A reader of this parking post has an interesting take on Motorgate Garage:

As a new resident (who only occasionally has a car), I didn't realize understand the parking issues voiced here and in other places. Come on, there's Motorgate! Then I used Motorgate. It all makes sense now.
