According to the MTA, there will be
no Roosevelt Island F train service to Manhattan this President's Day weekend from 11:45 pm Friday,
February 14 to 5:00 am Tuesday February 18.
Also, a Tipster reported last Monday morning:
I was on the Roosevelt Island just now and met the MTA staff. Was happily
presuming they were tracking the F train schedule.... but No. They are
installing barricades on the platform to prevent accidents. I wonder how
that will impact our rush hour? I told them the government should spend more
money on mental health support.
I asked the MTA:
I'm told the MTA is planning on installing subway platform protection
barricades at the Roosevelt Island F Train station.
Is that true?
When will they be installed? Where will they be installed? On the entire
station or just a portion of the station? What is the cost?
Please let me know if the MTA has any statement on the matter.
... Governor Hochul will provide the funding to install platform edge barriers at more than 100 additional stations by the end of 2025. The selection of stations for the installation process will prioritize feasibility, including stations with standard car-stopping positions in segments of the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, F, M and L trains. Among these train lines, stations with higher ridership levels and island platforms will be prioritized....
As previously reported, last December 18 a man slipped on the Roosevelt Island F Train subway
station Queens bound platform and suffered a severed leg when hit by an
oncoming F train.
I spoke with the FDNY Chief at the scene of the Roosevelt Island subway station incident. According to the Chief:
... approximately 15:53 hours
today, we had a person struck by a Queens
bound train heading towards Queens Plaza.
The train rolled over the patient by
about two cars. Patient was quickly
removed by FD units to waiting EMS
bus and is now being transported to a local
hospital in Manhattan.
PD is investigating the
circumstances as to what happened.... injuries are serious at this moment...
The Chief added that the FDNY responded in it normal response time:
Being Roosevelt Island it's a little bit longer because of the greater distance from Queens.
According to a NYPD spokesperson:
A male in his 50's was struck by a Queens bound train and taken to hospital in stable condition. At this time, no criminality is suspected. The incident is still being investigated.
Subway service was disrupted and riders had to use the Q102 bus
Good evening. There are still delays/longer waits for F trains after someone was struck by a train at Roosevelt Island, F trains were rerouted in both directions. We do apologize for a long wait. ^JP
According to the MTA, there will be no Roosevelt Island F Train service to Manhattan beginning 9:45 PM tonight through 5 AM Monday Morning.
Plan for long lines at the Tram.
The Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) adds:

Regular F train service for Roosevelt Island, as well as the Queensbridge/21
Street and Lexington/63rd Street, subway stations resumed today with completion
this past weekend of the MTA's
63rd Street Tunnel Direct Fixation Project
which
started last August 28.
To mark the occasion, MTA NYC Transit President
Rich Davey
together with MTA Construction & Development President
Jamie Torres-Springer, Roosevelt Island Operating Corp's (RIOC) Interim Leadership Team member Gerrald Ellis,
Cornell Tech Dean Greg
Morrisett
and Cornell Mascot Touchdown greeted riders at the Roosevelt Island F train station this morning.
I spoke with Mr Davey and Mr Torres-Springer about the completion of 63rd
Street Rehab Tunnel Project. According to Mr Torres-Springer:
We're always working on state of good repair across the system. It was
important here that we rebuilt the track all the way from 63rd Street in
Manhattan to Queensbridge in Queens. We rebuilt 25,000 feet of track. But in
this case, in order to make sure that it was reliable for decades to come, we
fully rebuilt it. We demolished what was there and we rebuilt the track, the
third rail, the concrete foundation, the signals, all of it to make a more
reliable ride for F Train riders.... The modern technology that we've used in
the rebuild means that everyone will experience a smoother ride...
I asked Mr Davey about the breathing problems some riders experienced with
dust in the air at the station. Mr Davey replied:
You wouldn't know it. We actually had our mobile wash team in here last
night to clean up but because of the Piston effect of the train, some of the
dust in the tunnel itself was blown into the station so that'll
subside relatively quickly. We'll have our wash teams back to do that but
that's fairly common when you have such a complicated and large construction
project.... we'll be out to clean it up and make sure that the stations are
spic and span.
I also spoke with Roosevelt Island resident
Paul Krikler, who along with resident Matt Wald, played a key part in organizing and advocating for the Roosevelt Island
community during the seven months of the 63rd Street Tunnel Rehab project.
I really hope this means we will now have consistent regular full weekend
service as well. Before this full shut down, it was the exception, not the
norm, to have the train running in both directions on the weekends, and
sometimes it wasn't running at all on the weekends.
I am very proud that is running and grateful yet I am highly disappointed
@rooseveltislandny @riocny @mta @nycmayor we could take a few hours to
give the station a deep floor - steam cleaning and I say this
respectfully. As a proud New Yorker, entering and breathing in the layers
of debris this am was saddening . I would say I am sure volunteers like
myself would mop and give it a good clean , however we do have the
financial means to give it at least one grand opening mop ( remove some
layers of durst everywhere) please take a moment to give our station a
little CLEANING LOVE it would of been such a highlight to the grand
opening
I love that they’re standing there like they restored service with their
own hands. Shout out to the construction workers who worked through the
weekends for almost a year to end this travel nightmare.
Thanks to the workers for making improvements that @rooseveltislander
complains about and then you make those fixes but @rooseveltislander turns
to complaining during the whole duration of the project!
I was most excited to ride the F back from Manhattan today. I had just missed the last train and didn’t have to wait 20 minutes for the next one! It was great!
NOT an April Fools joke! The F train has resumed normal operation btwn
Queens & Manhattan, thanks to the successful completion of the 63rd St
Track Project. A big shoutout to the hardworking team at the
@MTA for making
it happen. You know it’s a big deal when Touchdown appears!

Here's what we accomplished: 🛤️Reconstructed new concrete roadbed and
tracks. ⚡️Installed 25k feet of new third rail. 🚦Replaced
cables, installed new signals, and more!
This work will ensure
reliable service on the 63 St line for decades.
After reporting on the resumption of F train service, I got ON one at
Roosevelt Island….and promptly got stuck when “emergency brakes were
activated.” The conductor shut power and train simply SAT. When it resumed
didn’t sound right pulling into 57th.

But there will be no Roosevelt Island F train service to or from Manhattan this Easter
Weekend, March 30 -31 as the MTA finishes up work on the 63rd Street tunnel
rehab project.
This being Easter weekend and the cherry blossoms starting to bloom, plan for long lines at the Roosevelt Island Tram. This afternoon at 12 pm the Manhattan Tram station platform was jam packed with tourists.
Upon arriving at Roosevelt Island, most of the tourists immediately got on the next very crowded Tram back to Manhattan.
During the March 26 Roosevelt Island Operating Corp (RIOC) community Working Advisory Group meeting with residents, RIOC announced that extra Public Safety Department officers will be stationed at the Tram stations this weekend (as seen today),
that seniors, disabled and anyone who needs assistance can skip long lines by using the Tram elevator
and that extended red bus hours have been added to the Red Bus Shuttle between Manhattan and Roosevelt Island this weekend.

Will RIOC allow Roosevelt Island residents and workers priority boarding before
tourists during these weekends when there is no F Train shuttle? It could be as simple as
allowing
Metro Card holders priority boarding, as was done earlier this year, since most tourists are using the OMNY
payment system.
Honestly, tourists, what brings you to Roosevelt Island? Our wide open spaces? Our fine dining? Our breathtaking vistas, perhaps? Is it really worth it? All you're doing is making our lives miserable by cramming the tram while our subway service is on the fritz. https://t.co/vx6DUCSoGJpic.twitter.com/WFShdWdkfp
I’d love folks to come to our CB8 RI meeting on Jan 18. We’ve added the February weekend F shutdowns to the agenda”.
Until recently the RIOC Communications Department was attending CB8 RI meetings and doing a great job of it. Unfortunately, a week before the December meeting, I was told that RIOC would not be attending after all and would be re-evaluating participation in these meetings. We need more communication between RIOC and residents. Not less.
