Image From John Fischetti Following up on yesterday’s Roosevelt Island Tram lettering post , it is clear that one need not be a Roosevelt Island resident to be interested in the progress of the new Tram. An Upper East Side reader sent in the above Tram picture taken from his Manhattan apartment and a New York Times reporter took a sneak preview ride on the new Tram with a POMA representative (contractors for the new Tram) The NY Times City Room Blog has more on the new Tram.
