  • Island Wide Roosevelt Island, New York - Roosevelt Island

    Literally!!!

    After 4/4:30pm it's dark this time of year! Why are SO MANY lights out around the island?

    Blackwell playground has one light on in the corner, and several others around that don't work.

    Al Lewis playground is in the dark.

    A huge stretch of lights between Lighthouse Park/Coker and the Octagon are out.

    Lights along the road next to the fire station are out.

    Surely this is a LIABILITY ISSUE??? With winter coming fast, paths will get icy and dangerous - will RIOC pay for medical care for people who slip in the dark?? How about children who injure themselves in playgrounds because they could see?

  • Cigarette Butts Acknowledged
    West Road New York, New York - Roosevelt Island
    An enormous number of cigarette butts litter this area - it would be great if a bin was placed here to encourage people to keep this area tidy.
