A report was made to See Click Fix last Tuesday that the American Flag flying over Roosevelt Island's Firefighter's Field is torn and ripped.

The corner of the US flag next to the tram roundabout got caught in the rope and the flag started to tear apart. That should be easy to fix.

On Wednesday, another report was made to See Click Fix asking that the countdown time display clock

 at the Tram Stations be fixed:

 The time display at the tram station is not working properly. It always say "Next tram: 6 minutes", no matter how long you wait.

Then, when the tram actually starts moving, it jumps from 6 to 4 minutes, and only then it starts to work properly. But at that point, I already know the tram is coming, so no need for a display.

RIOC should fix it to always show the right time for the next tram. It shouldn't be too difficult, given they have a schedule.

So, as soon as the Tram leaves a station, the countdown clock starts at 6 minutes even if the next Tram is not due to leave the same station for another 15 minutes. The clock stays at 6 minutes until the tram leaves the opposite station when the clock begins the countdown at 4 minutes. That's not very useful.

Let's get the Flag repaired now, the Tram countdown clock soon thereafter and not continue to wait for months as have some other Roosevelt Island issues listed on See Click Fix before being addressed such as the graffiti on this Rivercross Lawn tree.

UPDATE - 3/20 - See Click Fix reports that the damage flag at Firefighter's Field has been replaced.
