New York, NY - Roosevelt Island Tramway Stalls Again During Tests
New York, NY - The Roosevelt Island Tramway has stalled twice more in the last week during test runs to find out the cause of an April 18 breakdown that left dozens of people suspended in midair for as long as 11 hours.
Officials said during a City Council hearing that they were focusing on the tramway's internal operating system, but had not determined the exact problem that caused the breakdown. The officials said they did not know when the investigation would be completed, or when the cars would reopen for passengers.
U/D:
Residents of Roosevelt Island urged officials to move quickly to restore service to the island's 30-year-old tram. While there is subway access to Roosevelt Island, the residents said it was insufficient given the high percentage of elderly and disabled people among the island's population of 9,000.
