waTer access
hisTory
eXisTing
Historically the island had ferry connections to Manhattan and Queens,
but with the opening of the 36th Avenue Bridge to Queens ferry transit
largely died out in the mid 20th century
Growing demand exists for waterborne access
2 Ferry landings in Manhattan within 10 minutes on the east side alone
Multiple locations to connect to in Queens, Brooklyn, and regionally
Tidal current speeds at their peak are almost 3x the Hudson
a challenge for small craft
The Oil Dock (see #2) most recently accomodated mid-sized
vessels
Landll Excavation
Recreational boating/small craft require a channel, basin, inlet
Target remaining development sites or underutilizied space
Consider marina functions

Roosevelt Island might be best thought of as a

runoff & conservaTion
eXisTing Urba Ruo
A signicant amount of the island is already designed to allow
runoff from rain and snow to inltrate and nourish the landscape.
Still, there are many areas where capture rates could be improved
Water Coservatio
Many buildings on the island pre-date newer conservation
strategies such as LEED or USEPAs Water Sense xtures and
appliances
Urba Ruo
Create a runoff recapture goal of 75% of the islands surfaces.
This calculation should include building roofs, planted areas,
parking and transportation areas
Water Coservatio
Create a baseline for current water consumption on the island per resident, household, and per institution and establish a goal for
reducing consumption by x% per year over the next xx years. A
good milestone would be Roosevelt Island @ 50 years old.

supply/generaTion
eXisTing RIOC purchases electricity generated by hydropower (NYPA), but residential
buildings mostly purchase electricity from ConEd, which offers a mix of sources
Stea Pat
95% of output serves hospitals
Runs on #6 fuel oil
Tida Eer
Operated by Verdant Power, located on Roosevelt Island
First phase 30 turbines (1MW capacity) 2012
Two additional tidal energy installations are being planned for the East River
(Natural Currents, LLC and NY Tidal Energy)
Soar
The Octagon has one of the city's largest arrays

supply/generaTion
recommended Stea Pat
Energy and Resource Solutions study recommends Combined Heat and Power
Consider Combined Heat and Power (CoGen) plant (requires additional
natural gas line)
Incentivise switch to ConEd renewable providers
Tida Eer
Expand existing programs to serve Roosevelt Island
Phase 1 (30 East Channel turbines) = 5% of total load = all RIOC properties
Consider production/distribution of tidal energy systems on island
Oter Reewabe Sources
Anaerobic Digestion (see maTeRIals section)
Wind Turbines
Combined Heat and Power (CoGen)
Expand Photovoltaics: streetlights may cut consumption by > 50%
Smart Grid technology: monitor and manage energy consumption, savings
and electricity/heat supply (Incentive bonus for buildings with
greatest reductions)

TransporTaTion
eXisTing Autos Island is auto dependent
Parking is costly, obstruction of views
GPS tracking is available to users with smart phones
Bicces/Peds
Lack of continuous path/clear pike baths
Bridge ramp unfriendly to cyclists
Pubic Trasit
Red Bus vs. MTA bus: duplication Overcrowded F train
Poor ADA accessibility
ccEss
Discontinued promenade New tram in action Bike racks at capacity
"[A] modern urban environment that
emphasizes its river setting and includes
a complete ban on private cars"

TransporTaTion
recommended Autos Convert RIOC eet to electric
Encourage alternative modes
Develop carpooling/car sharing programs
Private electric vehicle incentives
Take advantage of available technology
Bicces/Peds
Island-wide bike sharing
Encourage bike shops and ubiquitous parking
Offer discounts to cyclists at local businesses and on the tram Improve continuity of the promenade around the island
Mark clear bike/pedestrian lanes where possible, esp. bridge access
Require all buildings to offer bike storage/racks
Reintroduce vertical access to Queensboro bridge, for pedestrians and cyclists
Pubic Trasit
Countdown clocks for users without smart phones
Universal access for all modes of transportation
Pedestranize intermodal connections
Celebrate the tram! (tours, interactive maps/diagrams/timelines)

deliveries
eXisTing Poor data on deliveries to island
No current RIOC protocol for material delivery
Barges supplying marble to FDR Memorial
Establish a target and methodology for reducing vehicle
deliveries
Urban Consolidation Center, to coordinate island deliveries
Establish a protocol and encourage waterborne deliveries
mATERiAls
100% deliveries on Island are truck based
recommended
Waterborne marble delivery to construct the Four Freedoms Memorial Park

eXisTing Residetia/Coercia/Costructio
Non AVAC waste is collected by truck on Roosevelt Island
Food waste = 20% of waste stream in NYC (No recovery program: PlaNYC
considering anaerobic digestion pilot in the Bronx)
No current RIOC protocol for material recovery
AVAC Sste
Collects residential and school municipal solid waste (MSW) without trucks
System has operated continuously since installation and every new building
connects to the network
Innovative to this day, the system requires investment to handle sorting and
to increase capacity

wasTe
recommended Residetia/Coercia/Costructio
Establish a target of improving the recycling rate by 50% (for example)
Explore the feasibility of separating organic waste and processing it to generate energy
(biogas) and compost with an anaerobic digestion facility, possibly the Citys rst
Designate storing area such as the AVAC facility yard for material recovery
Waste management protocol of 75% recovery of construction debris (LEED)
Explore urban farming
AVAC
Establish a plan for the next 40 years, beginning with a feasibility study to explore upgrading
the system to include recyclables and commercial waste
Establish knowledge sharing with AVAC operator at Summit Plaza in Jersey City, NJ.

hospiTals
NORTH
Coler Goldwater kitchens were replaced by vending machines in 2007. Patient food is prepared
off site.
Target hospital food: reopen the kitchens and plant gardens on hospital grounds to provide
fresh ingredients. Improve the quality of the food options, encourage staff to eat together,
encourage staff and patients to participate, and raise the prole of the facility.
Consolidate the two campuses into the Northern campus.
SOUTH
The southern campus was built in the 1930s and will likely close if re safety upgrades are not
made by 2013. It was laid out to max solar benets and to consider the roof for ulterior energies.
Southern Campus is being considered for alternative uses.
Program the Southern Campus to support the health and hospital sector with programs such
as assisted living facility, food service/production, laundry, and swing space for east side hospital
renovations (consider initial design competition)

infrasTrucTure insTiTuTe Innovation and environmental quality were part of Roosevelt Islands development, but RIOCdoes not have the resources to establish long term planning and sustainability projects to ensure
Roosevelt Island as a model for the future.
Roosevelt Island offers one of the best vantage points for understanding New York Harbor

infrasTrucTure insTiTuTe
recommended Encourage creation of an independent infrastructure institute on the island to work withRIOC, institutions, agencies and residents with four main roles: research, planning, cultural
programming and outreach. A storefront would provide a cultural anchor on Main Street for
residents and visitors.
A capital expense item that would take 35 years to realize
RI Corps (like AmeriCorps or Teaching Fellows) to bring experienced professionals to train
island residents to play a more active role in the stewardship and maintenance of the islands
landscapescurrent residents present untapped labor pool for landscape stewardship
Create an interpretive Water Walk along the East Channel with interpretive informationabout the Ravenswood Power Plant, NYCss combined sewer system, the Islands steam
infrastructure, de-watering pumps, the Channels tidal power potential, and the richness of life
in the waters surrounding the island
