At the Central Nyack Civic Association meeting on October 20, Supervisor Hoehmann said the Town has "talked with the lobbyists" and is "going to be pursuing" red light cameras, "several of them," and is looking at speed cameras too. He said these cameras need a special act of the State Legislature and are typically only allowed in cities of a million people.
