February 2024: Â There is still some funding available under this project, so we will be able to complete more sidewalk on the east side of South Broadway between Depew Ave and Burd St. This work will continue in the Spring 2024. Â Nearly all sidewalks on Broadway between Cedar Hill Ave and First Ave have been rebuilt.Â
Terra Ferma Construction has completed work on the sidewalks (west side) of Broadway between Burd Street and Depew Ave. The project continued onto the north side of Depew Avenue between S. Broadway and S. Franklin St.  This project has been funded entirely through the Rockland County Community Development Block Grant (HUD) Program. The Village was awarded $250,000 for this project.Â
The Marina Parking Lot repaving work was completed in November 2023.  A new walkway was installed along the western bulkhead of the marina, crossing the parking lot and connecting to the pedestrian bridge to Memorial Park. This project included amenities such as picnic tables, benches, trash and receptacle containers and new lighting on the Marina side of the walkway.Â
Belleville Construction has completed work on Burd Street, between S. Broadway and Cedar Street (August 2023). This was a full replacement of sidewalks on both sides of the street and portions of Cedar Street. This project has been funded entirely through the Rockland County Community Development Block Grant (HUD) Program. The Village was awarded $231,140 for this project.Â
Water Main Replacement Project – The Water Main Replacement Project is a multi-phase capital improvement project that will replace water mains, valves and home service connections to the curb stop in selected streets within the Village limits as well as sections outside of the Village limits that we serve. This capital improvement project will replace water distribution pipes that are near the end of their useful life, and will reduce the number of main and service breaks that have been increasing in recent years. The full list of the streets that will receive new mains, valves and service connections to the curb stop is listed on our web site, www.nyack-ny.gov. Phase One of the project construction will replace approximately 4.9 miles of water main. Phase One main replacement represents over 10% of the 44 miles of water distribution system piping. The water main replacement project is scheduled to begin in the Summer of 2020. To complete the full capital improvement project, it is designed as a Three Phase program with an appropriation of $10,000,000.
Broadway Streetscape Project (TAP) – The Broadway Streetscape project will replace and install new sidewalks, curbing, ADA compliant sidewalk corners, street trees, planting areas, enhanced pedestrian crosswalks. The project area begins at Cedar Hill Avenue and continues north to Depew Ave. The second phase of the project will start at Burd Street and continue north to First Avenue. These improvements are part of the NYS DOT’s Transportation Alternatives Program intended to increase pedestrian and bicyclist access through and into the Village business district. The project is being funded in-part with a grant of $3,312,000 administered by the NYS DOT. The project is scheduled to begin in the Fall 2021.Â
Safe Routes to School Project – The Safe Routes to School project will construct 10,940 linear feet of new concrete sidewalks that will include ADA-compliant ramps, curbing, crosswalk striping, LED flashing pedestrian signs and shade trees on streets in the densely populated 4 southwestern section of the Village of Nyack, and a pedestrian walking route to the Nyack Middle School not served by school busing. The project will provide connections for pedestrians to the Village’s two major east-west thoroughfares – Depew Avenue and Main Street. The new sidewalk system will provide safe routes to school, by replacing missing, deteriorated, and non-ADA compliant sidewalks and ramps. The Safe Routes to School project will be federally funded in part with a $4,300,000 grant through the Transportation Alternatives Program (TAP) that is administered by the NYS DOT.
Pedestrian Safety Action Plan (PSAP) – The PSAP project will update existing traffic signalization at three of the most heavily traveled intersections in the Village along the Broadway and North Midland Avenue corridors within the Village of Nyack. Construction includes new pedestrian signals, installation of Leading Pedestrian Interval (LPI) systems, ADA compliant ramps, high visibility markings and pedestrian signage. The three signalized intersections include: Depew Avenue & Broadway, Main Street & Broadway, and Fifth Avenue & North Midland Avenue. The project is being federally funded with a $375,000 grant through the Pedestrian Safety Action Plan (PSAP) program that is administered by the NYS DOT.  This project was completed in 2021.Â
Marina Connection & Waterfront Pathway - As part of the Village of Nyack’s implementation of its Local Waterfront Revitalization Program, the Waterfront Pathway project will design and construct a pathway along the Hudson River connecting Memorial Park to the Village Marina. The pathway and related streetscaping improvements will link the Village's historic downtown to its waterfront and enhance waterfront access along the river. The waterfront pathway will extend north to the Nyack Boat Club as part of a private development of residential property on Gedney Street, which will be deeded to the Village upon completion. The village pathway will be constructed with public amenities including landscaping, lighting, benches, water fountains, and wayfinding signage. The project is being funded in-part by a grant of $401,700 from the NYS Department of State. This project is still in progress, lighting and paving to be installed in 2023.
LED Street Light Conversion Program (Light-Emitting Diode) – The Village of Nyack’s LED Street Light Conversion Program, in conjunction with the RealTerm Energy and Orange & Rockland Utilities, will provide a smarter, environmentally-friendly street lighting system that will significantly reduce energy and maintenance costs. The new LED fixtures are expected to cut Nyack’s streetlight energy consumption by approximately 67% as LEDs require significantly less electricity than the high-pressure sodium lights that are presently in place. This upgrade will also decrease annual streetlight maintenance costs by up to 80% because LEDs are a solid-state technology (with no moving parts) and last up to four times longer than the Village’s existing streetlights. The retrofit will improve Nyack’s environmental footprint by reducing greenhouse gas emissions by an estimated 193 metric tons of greenhouse gas annually, equivalent to the gas emissions from approximately 41 passenger vehicles driven for one year.  This project was completed in 2022.Â
