Great Feedback from the Community

Our two community review sessions on Tuesday, March 30th and Saturday, April 4th produced some critical feedback for many of our proposals.


We had approximately 30 people in attendence on Tuesday night, and nearly 25 Roosevelt Island Girl Scouts
participating in planning activities on Saturday morning.

We'd like to thank everyone who attended and stay tuned for more on our proposals.

"Kid's Korner" Planning Activity a Wild Success

Here is an sample of drawings that came out of the "Kid's Korner" planning activity. We wanted the children to illustrate their perception of their Roosevelt Island community. The drawings include what they like/dislike and how they would like to see their community change over time.
