At the start of May, we are seeing all kinds of new life flourishing; from flowers on our village streets to the green Linden trees in Memorial Park, our village is beginning to blossom once more.

After such a difficult and turbulent year, I'd like to recognize the indispensable role of mothers this Sunday, May 9th, Mother's Day. In trying and difficult times, a nurturing mother can ground an entire family - providing the stability and emotional support that is so necessary in the face of uncertainty.

Across Nyack, there are wonderful opportunities to share a special day with our mothers. Spring Fling will be in full swing with Main Street and Broadway closed to vehicles, perfect for a stroll, shopping and dining. From the views of the shimmering Hudson in Memorial Park, to the vibrant small businesses and restaurants in the Village, take time to cherish a moment with your mother, grandmother, or anyone you hold dear this Mother's Day.

"Grown don't mean nothing to a mother. A child is a child. They get bigger, older, but grown. In my heart it don't mean a thing." - Toni Morrison

Happy Mother's Day!

- Don Hammond

Here's what's happening in Nyack

There is a lot of infrastructure work underway in the village this year. Thank you to our residents for your patience and cooperation with road closures, construction crews and detours!

The Nyack Water Department is replacing water mains on select roads. Paving plans are in the progress to follow the work of the water department! The roads require time to settle, so expect paving to occur after an appropriate time has passed.

The Pedestrian Safety Improvement Plan is underway at four intersections in the village. This project will enhance pedestrian safety with ADA compliant crosswalks, pedestrian signals, improved traffic light timing and more. It was funded entirely by the NYSDOT with a budget of $370,000. Work is scheduled to be completed by early summer.

Parking at the Marina/Memorial Park Lot

Beginning June 1, 2021 the Marina & Memorial Park Lot will be metered. Hours of metering are consistent with the rest of the village: 10am - 7pm, Monday to Saturday. Sundays and holidays are always free! Payment can be made at any of the three munimeters that will be installed or on the ParkMobile App.

ParkMobile is making it even easier to pay without the app by texting "Park" to number provided on the signs or by scanning the Q-code and following prompts. These options are being piloted in the Marina Lot and if successful, we will expand to all parking areas.
