Roosevelt Island promenades reflect the traditional intent: They are there for walking, but times change. Other users, especially bikes, share the space. This raises a lot of issues, from safety to comfort, and we’re offering a poll, asking your opinion.
A service of the Roosevelt Island Daily News
Local leadership is lacking on this challenge, and we hope hearing from residents jells RIOC into taking some kind of action.
This survey is 100% confidential, and the results will be shared publicly and presented to RIOC and its board. Feel free to add your comments or even an alternative response if those offered don’t fit with you.
All will be respected equally.
Take the survey…
In the end, although the top response was “A ban is not needed,” a majority voted in favor of increasing control (38.7%) or a total ban (14.86%).
But RIOC rung up 100% in indifference, not responding at all and changing nothing. After all, it’s all about them, isn’t it?

Rivercross and the Quiet Green Light
Rivercross privatization was enabled in 2010. This matters now because the same governance structures that allowed Rivercross to privatize without formal conflict controls are still in place. The same public authority oversees land leases, settlements, and redevelopment decisions that affect every resident on Roosevelt Island today.
