Nyack board moves Safe Routes sidewalk project forward and amends sidewalk-incentive cap
Summary
The board authorized solicitation of bids for the $5 million Safe Routes to Nyack Middle School sidewalk project, amended the sidewalk-incentive reimbursement cap for long sidewalks, and agreed to delay full bond authorization until bids return to refine financing; motions carried unanimously.
Public works staff told the board the design is complete and the village has a roughly $5 million grant to build sidewalks on Depew, Upper Depew, Summit and Main as the primary pedestrian route to the middle school; trustees authorized solicitation of construction bids to move the project forward.
Separately, trustees approved a resolution to amend the sidewalk-incentive program to allow a higher reimbursement cap for unusually long sidewalks. Board members discussed timing of bond authorization and agreed to omit immediate bond issuance until construction bids come back so financing can reflect actual costs; a separate state-required resolution showing the village's financial commitment to the project was approved so the project can proceed to bidding.
Why it matters: The Safe Routes project is grant-funded and will change pedestrian access near the middle school; the actions allow the village to move toward construction while protecting the village fiscally by waiting to issue full bonds until bid numbers are known.
