The Girl Puzzle, a complex, expressive installation by sculptor Amanda Matthews is done, awaiting its ribbon-cutting. But as you can see from the photo, its life partner, the Roosevelt Island Lighthouse, remains headless. The big event, according to RIOC, must wait until December.

RIOC projected Tram growth and OMNY would strengthen transportation revenue. Its latest accounts show the Red Bus and Tram both losing money, while the public is not shown one transportation bill.
The Red Bus is one of Roosevelt Island’s most popular public services, and for good reason. For residents near the subway and Tram, it may be a convenience. For residents at Manhattan Park, the Octagon, Coler and the northern WIRE buildings, it can be the connection that makes the rest of the Island accessible.
