  • Here's a Hint on the Trivia-Like Question Asked Above: the Answer Relates
    Here’s a hint on the trivia-like question asked above: The answer relates to Rikers Island’s leading role in the 1939 birth of LaGuardia Airport. More precisely, it was a rebirth – that of a small North Beach, Queens, airfield, transformed into the country’s then largest municipal airport. Some said it was the world’s largest. What made the change-over possible was a half-mile steel span stretched across Rikers Island Channel. Trucks Traveled Trestle to Feed Rikers Landfill to Airport Site That massive trestle served as a kind of metal feeding tube, enabling an estimated17 million tons of Rikers Island landfill to be funneled into the future mammoth airport’s vast Bowery Bay-Flushing Bay construction site: 357 acres of marshland and underwater grid work. Tens of thousands of truck trips delivered the materials. Operations went on around the clock six days a week for two years. The span had a movable section which, in the open position, allowed passage of water craft through the Rikers Island Channel. Planners had chosen that arrangement rather than clog the channel with barges going back and forth. The crossing structure facilitated turning the 105-acre North Beach Airport, formerly the Glen H. Curtis Airport, into 557-acre New York Municipal Airport-LaGuardia Field. About three and a half decades later, a somewhat similar temporary crossing structure spanned Bowery Bay, linking the island and Queens to facilitate construction of the permanent bridge opened in 1966 and named for Rikers’ Supervising Warden Francis R. Buono in 1978. In recognition of the essential role that Rikers would play in the creation of New York City’s planned commercial airport, the Sept.

    INNOVATIONS & ACCOMPLISHMENTS East River Bridges A $3.14 billion reconstruction program is underway to rehabilitate all four East River crossings. In 2005, these bridges carried some 498,213 vehicles per day. In 2002, working in coordination with the NYPD and other law enforcement agencies, the Division implemented enhanced security measures on these bridges. This work is ongoing. BROOKLYN BRIDGE The Brooklyn Bridge carried some 132,210 vehicles per day in 2005. The $547 million reconstruction commenced in 1980 with Contract #1, and will continue with Contract #6, currently in the design phase and scheduled for completion in 2013.

  • New York City 2018 Trip Report
    New York City 2018 Urban Health Scholars Immersion trip Rikers Island New York City Department of Corrections By Sand Mastrangelo The Urban Health Scholars trip to New York City began a little earlier than expected this January due to a projected snowstorm in the New York Metro Area during scholars’ anticipated time of arrival! So, on Wednesday evening, sixteen Urban Health Scholars hurriedly packed their bags and drove to an AirBNB in Central Harlem to avoid driving in inclement weather. Early Thursday morning, eight members geared up to brave the storm and made their way to the Rikers Island Bridge in Queens for a guided tour of the jail with staff psychiatrist, Dr. Lauren Stossel. Visibility was low and the winds were powerful so drivers were extra cautious during the ride over. Once scholars obtained security clearance and proper badge identification, they packed into a State Corrections Van and made their way onto the Island. For geographic context, Rikers Island is New York City’s main jail complex located on the East River between Queens and mainland Bronx and is home to one of the world’s largest correctional and mental institutions. Though scholars couldn’t appreciate the vastness of the ten-jail complex due to the weather, Dr. Stossel provided a brief orientation and overview of the various buildings operated by the NYC Department of Corrections. Once inside, scholars were guided through medical intake, where all prison detainees undergo an initial medical screening within 24 hours of arrival. While there was not an opportunity to interact with a medical provider directly, scholars observed a typical exam room and learned about the various health conditions physicians and health staff typically support.
