July Update!

Last week, we introduced a new design of the Village of Nyack website.

There is still work to do to update information and ensure the website

navigation is operating correctly. A big thank you to Dave Zornow and

Jane Cowles for working on this project. The new design is still using

the structure that was developed by Doug Foster.

In keeping with the focus on our sustainability efforts, the Board

supported responses for proposals to purchase trees for replanting and to

maintain our current stock of trees throughout the Village. Marcy Denker

and the Tree Committee have done amazing work on these projects.

We are reviewing actions to move forward with major renovation work on

our aging water system. The total cost for the repair and renovation

project is close to $10 million.

The village is considering moving to replace the current parking kiosks

with upgraded versions that use license plates to monitor parking

activities. There will also be an app for payment and for extending

time.

Safety for pedestrians and bikers continues to be a focus for the board.

We adopted a local law to lower the speed limit in designated school

zones. Other safety issues are being implemented including new signage and

designs for better traffic control near the senior center and Head Start

on Depew Ave.

Upcoming issues and events:

Your Village Board continues to study parking issues in our community.

We will be discussing some ideas related to alternate side of the street

parking at our July 12th workshop.

Major milling and paving projects are near completion for North Midland

and Piermont Avenues. Thank you to Village Administrator Jim Politi and

our DPW crew who coordinated the projects.

Memorial Park has become a center of activity this summer. The Tuesday

night Music in The Park Concert series is well attended. The fourth

concert of the season is this Tuesday, July 10th at 7:00 pm. The new

Splash Pad is open and already drawing large crowds. Thanks to the

excellent work of The Nyack Park Conservancy and Commission.

We will be adding seasonal staff to monitor the activities in the park

for the balance of the summer. An official ribbon cutting and celebration

of the Splash Pad will be held later this month.

The marina is open for business for the summer of 2018. The Nyack Boat

Charter provides both private and public sailing excursions from the

Marina.
