Very exciting news.
I moved to Roosevelt Island a year ago. It's really a unique spot in the city. Surrounded by water, a cable car to Manhattan, loads of indoor and outdoor sports facilities, and some interesting (and spooky) history.
The Main Street area is pretty disappointing. It's pretty run down and not much going on. Most residents head over to Manhattan for shopping and restaurants.
Hopefully if this goes through it will be a catalyst for Roosevelt Island to up it's game.

- look_lookatme 16y agoWhat compelled you to move there? (honest q, I've taken the cable car a couple of times, but never actually went into Roosevelt Island..)
- randall 16y agoAccess to the F train, for one, and amazing manhattan views, for two. We were either going to live on Roosevelt Island or in Queens, and we ended up saving some money in Jackson Heights.
