Yellow Buses Return Across the Village Today
Nyack, NY · September 8, 2026
Listen closely this morning and you will hear the low rumble of yellow buses climbing the steep river hills. The quiet pace of late summer officially hands over the keys to the first school bell.
The Lead
The post-Labor Day lull breaks promptly this morning as public schools welcome students back across every district campus. Between morning drop-off queues stretching along North Broadway and buses navigating narrow turns near the middle and high schools, village traffic patterns undergo an instant autumn reset. Local drivers should factor in sudden delays, stop for flashing red signals on two-lane corridors, and strictly observe the twenty-mile-per-hour school zone limits. Pedestrian crossing guards are back on duty at primary walking intersections, including the corners along Midland and Depew avenues where recent sidewalk improvements guide neighborhood foot traffic. For households with backpacks and morning commuters alike, village routines snap back into a brisk, familiar focus.
Local Pulse
Upper Depew Sidewalk Work Enhances Walking Routes Completed curb improvements and repaved walkways near the middle school now give morning pedestrian commuters a smoother passage.
Village Prepares for Memorial Park Remembrance Service Residents will gather at the riverfront lawn this Friday evening to mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of September 11.

Spotlight & Story
- The Plateau at Nyack Beach State Park
- Perched 200 feet above the Hudson along Hook Mountain, a quiet grassy terrace sits halfway up the Palisades. Blasting crews carved the ledge for nineteenth-century quarry operations before conservationists protected the park in 1911, leaving an overlooked meadow where deer graze today.
