A Roosevelt Island resident asked yesterday

I wanted to know if you’ve noticed or if anyone has mentioned the lack of cell phone service or WiFi signal at the RI subway station since Saturday, 6/24? I thought it might have been related to the work done over the weekend but it has continued through this week.

Keep up the great work on the blog – it’s always my first/only source for island news.

UPDATE: WiFi service @ Roosevelt Island (F) station still out while we perform maintenance. We will update you as soon as service resumes.
