ADVOCATING FOR ROOSEVELT ISLAND

Roosevelt Island faces unique issues, and Julie has been a strong advocate for Islanders in her time in office. Julie has been working hard on issues to improve quality of life for Roosevelt Islanders:

• Partnering with the Department of Transportation to install a new material to resurface the bike lane on the Roosevelt Island Bridge—the first time the material has been used by the Department of Transportation in New York City—making the bike lane safer during inclement weather
• Working with elected colleagues to pressure Roosevelt Island Operating Corporation (RIOC) and the MTA to expedite the installation of OMNY readers at the Roosevelt Island Tram
• Allocating substantial funding for technology upgrades at the New York Public Library on Roosevelt Island as well as at P.S./I.S. 217
• Providing funding and support for the continuation of the Roosevelt Island composting site
• Successfully advocating for RIOC to lower its Sportspark rates for Island residents.

Julie will continue to be an active representative for the Roosevelt Island community and address unique local issues.
