GOOD NEWS!!! RIOC HAS OPENED THE TWO BATHROOMS IN THE SPORTSPARK TO VISITORS!!  THEY ARE LOCATED AT THE MAIN ENTRANCE ON THE WEST ROAD!

YESTERDAY, I SAW THIS LOVELY PHOTO AND ANNOUNCEMENT OF VACATION TIME FOR CORNELL TECH STUDENTS, FACULTY AND VISITORS.

INSTEAD OF JOY, MY THOUGHT WAS WHERE TO SEND OUR NEIGHBORS AND VISITORS TO USE A BATHROOM!

FOR THE YEARS CORNELL TECH HAS BEEN OPEN, THEY HAVE ALWAYS PERMITTED VISITORS AND NEIGHBORS TO USE THEIR FACILITIES.

THE  SITUATION IS COMPLICATED WHEN CORNELL IS CLOSED.

NEW BUS ROUTE PRESERVES DIRECT SERVICE TO QUEENS PLAZA

Proposed Final Plan Addendum: Q102 Local

36th Avenue/Roosevelt Island
Associated existing route: Q102

For languages other than English, use the Google Translate tool at the bottom of this page. 

About the route

The Q102 will now connect Long Island City and Roosevelt Island with a new, more direct routing. In Queens, the route will start at Court Square, traveling to Roosevelt Island via Jackson Av, 31 St, and 36 Av. On Roosevelt Island, the route will be shortened to terminate at the Roosevelt Island Tramway. The ​​ trains will provide service along 31 St, and the Q18 will still serve 30 Av. Service through Queensbridge will still be provided by the Q103.
