This week in the villages: Prepare for yet another week of challenging northbound evening commutes, as there will be lane closures approaching the bridge in Westchester. If you have a video surveillance system near your home or business, the Clarkstown Police Department wants you to join its crime fighting team. And Nyack News & Views is looking for interns.

Town of Clarkstown
Surveillance Camera Registration
According to local police, video surveillance is one of the best methods for apprehending criminals and convicting suspects who are caught in the act of committing a crime. The Clarkstown Police Department is urging local residents to join their crime fighting team: the Camera Registry Program. The program allows citizens and business owners to register the locations of their video surveillance systems with the police department. Using the geographic locations of the registered cameras, the department will be able to request program participants to check their video surveillance system for a specific date and time for video capturing a suspect, getaway car or a crime. If the participant finds any video evidence, they can contact the Clarkstown Police Department to make arrangements for video retrieval at the convenience of the camera owner.
Tappan Zee Bridge News
Overnight Lane Closures in Tarrytown
Tappan Zee Constructors (TZC) continues preparation work this week to remove roadway sections of the northbound New York State Thruway near the bridge’s Westchester landing to allow installation of new precast concrete slabs in the coming weeks. It will create a new base roadway for the twin-span crossing’s connection to the Thruway when the second span opens later this year. The overnight work will require multiple lane closures on the northbound Thruway near the bridge’s Westchester landing. At least one lane will remain open at all times. Specific lane closure times are listed in the chart below.
