Most of Roosevelt Island sidewalks and streets were shoveled or plowed today

so that pedestrians and vehicles could safely get to

their destination

except for the sidewalk adjacent to the Rivercross Lawn

which as of 4 PM this afternoon

still had not been plowed. Why? UPDATE 1/4 6:55 PM – A Roosevelt Island Longtimer reported:

The lawn south of Rivercross, and the sidewalk next to it along main street is RIOC’s responsibility.

Usually it gets one plowing – sometimes two. Sometime Rivercross staff takes a stab at plowing it.

It has been the site of many, many slips and slides, some broken wrists and ankles, and RIOC usually gets to it eventually.

Bad answer, but historically correct.

The Rivercross lawn sidewalk

was shoveled

when I walked by this morning at about 11 AM.
