Nyack Waterfront Plan

Village of Nyack, New York

BFJ Planning updated the Village of Nyack’s Local Waterfront Revitalization Program (LWRP), a plan and policy document to guide future uses of the Village’s waterfront and increased public access. The Village last adopted an LWRP in 1992, and an update is needed to reflect existing conditions, outline policies that will guide future planning and incorporate harbor management policies that will focus on issues and opportunities to increase the diversity of uses beyond the water’s edge. Nyack’s waterfront is largely built-out or currently provides waterfront open-space. However, the Village has an opportunity to create improved connections to the waterfront, Memorial Park, the Village Marina, historical attractions, and downtown. The Nyack LWRP includes an update to the Village’s coastal policies, but the core of the plan is in the proposed projects. Some of the top project priorities include the Nyack Brook Improvement Project, a public waterfront walkway that connects downtown to the waterfront, improvements at Memorial Park and the Nyack Marina, and continuing to evaluate the potential for recreational or commuter ferry service.
