Maybe some other issue.
Stay tuned to find out more.
UPDATE 9:15 PM - The larger than expected crowd for tonight's RIOC Real Estate Committee meeting came from supporters of Gallery RIVAA and members of the Roosevelt Island Islamic community.
Gallery RIVAA supporters were objecting to the possibility of losing their current workspace in the Sportspark Mezzanine to the Roosevelt Island Islamic community. The Roosevelt Island Islamic community is seeking a location for a worship/cultural space and is exploring the possibility of using Sportspark Mezzanine for that purpose.
Another option raised for the first time at tonight's meeting was reconfiguring a portion of the Sportspark women's locker room for use by either Gallery RIVAA or the Islamic community. No decisions were made at tonight's Real Estate Committee meeting regarding the use Sportspark space but RIOC staff will examine the possibilities.
Also discussed was a presentation by Gallop NYC to develop with the Child School a Therapeutic Equestrian Stable on Roosevelt Island in the open space between the Octagon Soccer Field and East River. Later this summer that area will be used for additional picnic tables and exercise equipment.
Will have more on both of these issues later.
