WEST NYACK, NY – Supervisor George Hoehmann has shared the latest progress report on the ongoing West Nyack Revitalization Project, highlighting key milestones achieved over the past week and previewing upcoming construction activity that will impact local traffic.

According to Supervisor Hoehmann, drainage and utility work continued throughout the week, with major progress made. Orange and Rockland Utilities, along with several other utility companies, have completed most of their work and successfully met the deadline required to proceed with the removal of utility poles. The remaining utility work is expected to be finalized within the next week, after which the poles will be taken down, clearing the way for the next phase of the revitalization effort.
Temporary Road Closure: West Nyack Rd. & Bensen Avenue

As part of the next phase of utility upgrades, a brief road closure is scheduled at the intersection of West Nyack Road and Bensen Avenue, starting Tuesday morning and continuing through Thursday morning. This temporary closure is necessary to allow Orange and Rockland to install a large underground pull box as part of their 705 line infrastructure.

During this time, access to Bensen Avenue will be rerouted through West Street, and a detour will be in place to assist drivers in navigating the area safely and efficiently.
Progress on Road Realignment and Parking

In addition to utility improvements, contractors are making visible progress on the realignment of West Nyack Way and Klein Avenue. The area near Sorce Funeral Home now shows a clearly defined outline of the new roadway and parking layout, signaling another step forward in the revitalization project aimed at improving traffic flow and community infrastructure.

Supervisor Hoehmann encourages residents to stay informed through weekly updates as the project advances. “We appreciate the community’s patience and cooperation as we work to bring meaningful improvements to West Nyack,” he stated.

CLARKSTOWN, NY — Beginning with the new tax season on September 1, the Clarkstown Town Clerk’s Office will offer residents a new and convenient way to receive updates about their tax bills directly by text message.

Town Clerk Lauren Marie Wohl announced that residents can opt in to the service by texting “TAXINFO” to 845-644-6899.

Once a resident’s tax bill is ready, those enrolled will receive a text message containing a link. Residents can then enter their property address to view their tax bill and, if they choose, make a payment online.

The new text notification system does not replace traditional mailed tax bills. Residents who sign up for the service will continue to receive their regular tax bill in the mail. The text alerts are intended to provide an additional and more convenient way for residents to know when their bills are available and access their information.

“Residents asked for a simpler way to receive tax bill information, and I’m proud that we were able to make it happen,” Wohl said.

Residents with questions about the new service can contact the Clarkstown Town Clerk’s Office at 845-639-2010.

Flock Cameras in Rockland County: Safety Tool or Privacy Concern?

Flock cameras have become an increasingly debated topic across the country, including here in Rockland County.

Flock cameras are automated license plate readers used by law enforcement to capture license plates and vehicle characteristics as vehicles pass by. Police can use the information to assist with investigations, including locating stolen vehicles, identifying vehicles associated with wanted suspects, helping find missing people and developing leads following crimes.

One of the cameras pictured is located outside The Shops at Nanuet in Clarkstown. A graphic from the website DeFlock also shows reported camera locations throughout the area.

Supporters say the technology can give police an important investigative tool and help solve crimes more quickly. Critics, however, have raised concerns about privacy and the collection of information about where people drive, even when they are not suspected of committing a crime.

The debate ultimately comes down to a question of public safety versus privacy.

What do you think? Are Flock cameras a valuable tool for law enforcement, or are they an intrusion on your privacy?
