According to this Roosevelt Island 360 2009 post:

Apparently a runner from the Prospect Park Track Club who likes climbing subway stairs has counted the Roosevelt Island subway station’s steps and placed us third in total stairs among comparable stations:

>209 steps – Lex/63rd Street

>175 steps – Smith Street

>159 steps – Roosevelt Island…

Roosevelt Island 360 was an excellent local blog – it is missed.
