Nyack, June 30 — Even the most dedicated public transportation enthusiast has to wonder about waiting for a bus in a driving rain or a biting winter wind. Now downtown Nyack bus commuters won’t have to think twice about the weather courtesy of a new bus shelter.
The shelter was installed this week near the M&T Bank at the corner of Artopee Way and Franklin Street.
Nyack, June 11 — HR&A, a New York based real estate and economic consultant, will study the feasibility of developing a “Superblock” in downtown Nyack and report to Nyack’s Village Board in September.
One of the goals of the study will be to determine if an arts center, like Riverspace, is economically sustainable in the Village of Nyack. HR&A will inform the board regarding the best possible use of the downtown Superblock site which consists of 3.65 acres downtown, including Riverspace, the M&T Bank site and a strip mall.

Nyack, May 10 — This is a community mostly of the later 1800s and the 20th century, along the shore of the historic Hudson River. It bustles in its moments, like most villages, though in 2010, much of the movement is by car or truck, with even many pedestrians hopping from those for small jaunts. So much is missed in the process.
Once upon a time, with walkers in the majority, the scenery didn’t just pass by. I rediscovered that fact on a recent four-mile walk from my home in Blauvelt to downtown Nyack.

Looking at the current economic tide in Nyack, I wonder if we were happier 25 years ago? Was small business alive and well in our prized town? As I remember it, it was a much different time and place. What in the world were we bickering over then?
Probably a lot of the same issues that we are still bickering over today.
