Fantastic Bird's Eye View Riding Roosevelt Island Tram Over East River To Manhattan But When Will Tram Station Bathrooms Be Fixed?

This may be the best way to experience riding the Roosevelt Island Tram over the East River on way to the Manhattan Second Avenue Tram Station without actually being on it. Here's a birds eye view of a Roosevelt Island Tram Trip.

The view and trip on the Tram is terrific but residents, tourists and Tram workers would like to have the bathrooms at the Roosevelt Island Tram station open again.

During the January 19, 2012 Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) Board of Directors meeting, Vice President of Operations Fernando Martinez explained that the contractor doing the bathroom renovation was replaced (same contractor that did the Good Shepherd Plaza Restoration) and RIOC would perform the renovation internally together with the same contractor handling the Tram Station Renovation. Mr. Martinez expressed hope that one bathroom would be open by the end of January and the other by mid-February. As of today, the Tram Station bathrooms are still closed. Here's full explanation from Mr. Martinez.
