As reported in this previous post , the Roosevelt Island Operating Corp ( RIOC ) announced:
…Beginning on Tuesday, September 13, 2011, we will begin work renovating the Tram Entrance Steps. Signs are posted indicating the new entrance and exit. This renovation will take approximately 8 days to complete. Work will not begin each day until after the morning rush hour. Please note there will be no interruption of normal Tram Service….
Yesterday afternoon the final touches were being put in place for the new Tram Station Staircase
and today the wider staircase was in place ready to be used by Tram passengers.
Here’s what the staircase used to look like.
At least now, the bottleneck caused by Tram passengers exiting and entering the station at this point will be reduced.
