Why did the residents of Roosevelt Island have to stand for many hours on a
very cold and windy plaza, when across the street we have a covered and better
protected sidewalk?
What is so complicated that when it is your turn, a Public Safety officer guides you across the street to the DocGo van ? There were many elderly and handicapped residents standing for 3-4 hours in bitter cold, that was dangerous, unsafe and unhealthy !
I did go to the Public Safety Office to ask if it was possible to make the move to the covered sidewalk and the answer was that they would take it into consideration.
NISI restaurant provided free hot chocolate which brought big smiles and greatly appreciated !
