It's very, very hot.
.@nycoem and @nycHealthy urge New Yorkers to take precautions during extreme heat this week. For more information: https://t.co/O6hEfYkw8n https://t.co/6VzSZPz4Ew— NYCEM - Notify NYC (@NotifyNYC) July 19, 2017
Please fix the cooling situation on Roosevelt Island. Dangerous!— Michael Kennedy (@mkennedy39) July 19, 2017
According to the Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC):@nypl Your "cooling center" is actually a "heating center" - hotter inside the Library (~95°) than it is outside. Big health issue. Help!— Michael Kennedy (@mkennedy39) July 20, 2017
The National Weather Service has issued a Heat Advisory for New York City. Therefore, on Wednesday, 7/19/17 and Thursday, 7/20/17 the cooling center will remain at the Roosevelt Island Senior Center (546 Main St) from 9AM to 9PM.
As a reminder, a cooling center will be made available when the heat index becomes dangerously high. Individuals without air conditioning, particularly those at risk for heat-related illness, should use established cooling centers during a heat wave.

As reported July 13, the Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) will begin Tram Station platform repairs beginning July 24.
TRAM PLATFORM RENOVATIONSMore info at previous post.
Beginning July 24th
One of the goals of the Roosevelt Island Operating Cooperation (RIOC) is to enhance the experiences of all residents and island visitors. In doing so, we have identified necessary infrastructure improvements needed for both the Manhattan and Roosevelt Island Tramway stations. The Tram platforms will be removed and replaced at each station.
We sincerely apologize, as we realize that these renovations will be inconvenient and burdensome for all commuters.
During these renovations, only one Tram cabin will be in operation at a time.
Red Bus shuttle service will be available to and from the Roosevelt Island and Manhattan Tram stations. Shuttles will begin at 10:00 AM, departing from Roosevelt Island to Manhattan on the hour and returning from Manhattan to Roosevelt Island on the half hour, with the last pick-up at 8:30 PM.
Please allow for additional travel time in anticipation of increased wait times and follow posted directional signage upon exiting the Tram.
The project is expected to last through Winter 2018. For more information, please call 212-832-4540. Thank you.
This afternoon, I asked RIOC President Susan Rosenthal:How was your Roosevelt Island Tram Commute this morning with only One Tram cabin operating? Any Problems?https://t.co/8aEtDokrUI— Roosevelt Islander (@Rooseveltisland) July 24, 2017
Did the tram station repairs start today?Ms Rosenthal replied:
I'm told they are delayed?
Any update?
There is no delay. The mobilization and staging was scheduled for today and tomorrow and the actual work begins Wednesday.and:
... single cabin operation was always slated for Wednesday.
