Briefly...
- As The WIRE goes to press, there is
the possibility of a transit strike. The strike will not involve
Tramway workers, and Tram service will be increased to a rush-hour
schedule if the strike happens, according to RIOC President Herb
Berman. No word on whether service will continue through the night.
- The New York Cares Coat Drive is on and,
through December 31, the RIOC Public Safety office at 552 Main
Street is a collection point.
- RIOC received 16 proposals in response to its
recent set of five RFIPs asking investors and developers to propose
uses for plots at Southpoint Park, near the Coler campus of Coler-Goldwater
Hospital, and around the Tram station, as well as for the Island’s
older retail strip and for RIOC’s interest in Motorgate. There was
at least one response for each of the five sites. A spokesman says a
report will be made to the January meeting of the RIOC Board.
