The lack of public bathrooms on Roosevelt Island has been a problem for many years…
When you gotta go, where do you go on Roosevelt Island? The Roosevelt Island Operating Corp ( RIOC ) may have a solution.
During the February 3, 2025 RIOCReal Estate Development Advisory Committee meeting, Acting Chief Operating Officer Mary Cunneen reported a plan to install a Portland Loo public bathroom at Firefighters Field.
According to Ms Cunneen:
… We haven’t finalized the location but
probably if you’re standing by the tram at the northeast corner of Firefighters Field, right where the water
fountain
is.
The proposed location next to Firefighters Field is a few feet from the Roosevelt Island Tram and Riverwalk residential buildings.
