Yellow Gunk Oozing Out of Pipe on Wall of Roosevelt Island Tram Station Staircase - Does RIOC and POMA Think This Is Acceptable?
As the sign says, Roosevelt Island is A Home to All including, apparently, the yellow gunk oozing from this pipe on the wall of the Roosevelt Island Tram Station staircase. After spending at least $25 million on the renovation of the Roosevelt Island Tram does RIOC or POMA care what the Tram Station looks like?
The yellow ooze is a really nasty welcome to the brand new Tram and should be fixed.

Its foam insulation.
This is expanding foam sealant. It is used to fill cracks and gaps like the one in the wall around that pipe.
Its just a sloppy foam expanable foam insulation. All it needs to be is sliced closer to the wall.
Even I knew that it was foam insulation. Come on, Roosevelt Islander, do we have to dip down to these levels of reporting?
The Yellow gunk is an ugly welcome to the Tram - whatever it actually is. Don't know how long it's actually been there, but have been told it's several months.
If it's easy to fix, then why not just do it and don't allow sloppy work to remain.
To 9:46 - I don't see how this is a "dip down" in level of reporting. Why do you?
Really? This is what we're focusing on? Some expanding foam insulation that hasn't been trimmed? Is there really nothing more important going on that should be reported on? I have to agree with 9:46 - this really is just being nitpicky for nitpicky's sake, and characterizing it as "yellow gunk oozing" is obviously incorrect - and if someone told you that it's been there several months, did you think to ask what it might be before reporting incorrectly?
Whether it's foam insulation or not, it's still "yellow gunk" and it definitely appears to be "oozing."
I agree with the post. It's a little absurd that this insulation wasn't trimmed back properly after RIOC dropped $25 million on the tram replacement. It's easy to fix, and nobody's fixing it.
Hop to it, RIOC.
you're right - posting this is not in line with Matters of Great Import and hence an unworthy use of the Interwebs.
then again, not to get too philosophical or metaphysical, but isn't a reply voicing the "non-importance" of a topic unimportant in and of itself by definition?
Rioc will be Rebuilding both Tram stations with new designs to go along with the new tram. That is the last part of the project. So everyone will get their new tram stations. This is obviously a temp fix until then.
My comment is about the Tram, but not about that yellow gunk.
You may know that there is no F train to Roosevelt Island this work week (March 28 – April 1) at night (11 pm – 5 am).
My SO works nights and this disruption badly affects his commute home as he can’t get the Tram which stops working at 2 am, so he has to take F train to Queens and then to Roosevelt Island which adds additional 30-60 minutes to the commute because F trains run very infrequently at night. He inquired whether RIOC plans to operate the Tram at night this week and was said, NO.
But a train operator said that last week RIOC did operate the Tram the WHOLE NIGHT on days there was no F train service from Roosevelt Island.
So why does RIOC run the Tram all night if there is no Manhattan-bound F train at nights, but not at nights when there is no Queens-bound F train???
This is very unfair for RI residents returning home at night.
I must agree with the Post as well. It doesn't matter if it is only insulation foam, it does look bad and reflects on the image of the Island itself. It is an easy fix, let's fix it already. It is the "Broken Window" theory. (look it up) pretty soon, people will start tagging or throwing trash around the area, because they will think nobody cares what the area looks like. It starts out that simple. Trim the foam!! :)
4:35pm: what does a tram that goes to Manhattan will do to make your SO's commute easier when there is no Queens-bound train? Or does he work on Roosevelt Island and needs to get here at night? You must understand that he will probably the only person taking the tram running at that time.
It is inconvenient but I don't think it is too much to ask to just work with the longer commute for a week.
The insulation "blob" looks like a fetid cocoon in which an enormous dragonfly might be slowly developing - especially with the water stain dripping creepily down the wall beneath it. It's ironic that this "cocoon" is hanging beneath one of the ridiculous propaganda posters RIOC feels the need to put up all over the island. "Welcome to RI" - indeed!
Amazing how most of you are ok with a short notice of long delays of commuting. Yet on the day of the man who jumped/fell out of a window and there was a petty 4 or 5 hour delay, everyone was up in arms over it. Personally, I am very pissed off that there is no F train service yet again. They will never fix it or get it right. MTA built the tubes on sand/mud and not on bedrock. SMART!
First of all, MTA has announced these delays for quite a bit now. I've seen them last week, for example.
Secondly, not sure why you think the people that have no complaints about the commuting delays and the ones that are impatient about getting home after somebody falls from a balcony are the same.
Thirdly, so you don't want the MTA to touch anything anymore and leave it until it falls apart? Sure. That would be SMART. I must say that over the last couple years the MTA became a lot more transparent when it comes to outages.
They will NEVER fix it. The only way to fix it is to build another tube next to it and start from scratch on bedrock. Theres only so many patches they can put on the walls.
Well - NY is really the City that Never Sleeps and RIOC's action condemns RI residents that may be for example shift workers to the unpleasant choice of either rambling around in likely quite deserted stations in central Queens at all hours in order to get back to RI, or paying a substantial amount of cash to ride home by taxi. Trains run much less frequently overnight meaning the trip back via Queens could become incredibly protracted. I have to agree that for the hours the Jamaica bound F is not running via RI, the tram schedule could be extended overnight, as is already the case when the Coney Island bound F is not running through RI.
Many of the physical properties of cast iron radiators, for example their thickness and robust iron construction, lead them to not only be a highly efficient form of heating for your wall but also enable them to be extremely long lasting, able to quite happily function with the minimum of care and attention over long periods of time.
