Colony Island is an island in Liberty City in Grand Theft Auto IV. The island is officially part of the borough of Algonquin and is situated between Algonquin Isle and Broker. It is accessible via Leaper's Bridge and Sky Tram. Unlike Charge Island to the north, Colony Island has a residential area and access to public transport, presumably due to its proximity and direct connection with Algonquin.
Character and influences
The Algonquin Bridge passes over the northern portion of the island, serving as an unofficial demarcation between the residential project to the south, and the cemetery at the northern end. A large industrial park spans almost the entire eastern perimeter of the island, and a waterfront promenade runs along the western face, offering great views of the Algonquin skyline to the west. The southern end of the island is taken up by an abandoned hospital, featured in the mission The Snow Storm.
Colony Island is analogous to New York City's Roosevelt Island. Both islands are located in the center of a major river separating two boroughs of the city; the Algonquin Bridge, like the Queensboro Bridge, passes over the island, and Colony Island's abandoned hospital is akin to the abandoned Smallpox Hospital on Roosevelt Island.
Transporation
The Liberty Transport Authority operates a tram service between Algonquin and the island, a replication of the Roosevelt Island Tramway. The tram station is located on Main Street, partially overlapped by the southern side of the Algonquin Bridge.
