Earlier this afternoon, a resident reported both
Roosevelt Island F Train Subway Station Queens bound platform escalators
were out of service. According to the Tipster:
Just got off the Queens bound F train and they are repairing both up
escalators leading off the platform. The Escalators after going up a level
work. And there is no elevator in service there either, due to elevator
replacement.
A regrettable situation given the proportion of disabled residents, parents
with strollers, and individuals with mobility issues.
A sign posted at the escalators as well as the MTA Elevator and Escalator Status web page noted both escalators are estimated to return to service
on Saturday, September 10.
It’s a bad time for the Queens bound platform escalators to be broken because the Queens bound platform elevator is being replaced and currently out of service
through
November 2022.
Hopefully the escalators will be repaired by Saturday, if not sooner.
