Roosevelt Island Transportation This Weekend Not Good - No F Train Service From Manhattan And Only Single Tram Cabin Working During Tram Overhaul Project, Nothing RIOC Can Do About No F Train Service From Manhattan Says RIOC Spokesperson

There is no Roosevelt Island F Train service from Manhattan this weekend.


According to the MTA:
ELECTRICAL IMPROVEMENTS Mar 29 - Apr 1, 9:45 PM Fri to 5 AM Mon F Jamaica-bound trains run via the A from Jay St-MetroTech, Brooklyn to Canal St, Manhattan and via the E to Roosevelt Av, Queens...
Also, only 1 Roosevelt Island Tram Cabin working due to the Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) Tram Overhaul project.


RIOC previously announced there would be no F Train service disruption during the Tram Overhaul project:
... In discussions with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority which operates the New York City subway and bus system, RIOC officials received assurances this week that there will be no disruptions to the subway’s F Train line that services Roosevelt Island, including weekends up until April 19....
I asked RIOC President Susan Rosenthal:
... RIOC had said that the MTA would not have any service disruptions during the Tram Overhaul with only single cabin working.

Is there anything RIOC can do to have MTA change plans about Roosevelt Island F change service disruption this weekend?
A RIOC spokesperson replied:
Unfortunately, RIOC cannot control MTA decision making to have no Queens bound service this weekend. However this is the only service disruption currently scheduled for the Tram maintenance project timeframe.
Here's the Schedule for Roosevelt Island ferry Astoria route service.
