Parking Authority loses its powers

The rule of the Nyack Parking Authority is over, at least for now.
The Nyack Village Board yanked its lease with the agency, a move that stripped it of its power and basically left it an organization in name only.
Some residents cheered the end of the authority’s role in Nyack. The agency has attracted its fair share of critics, who say the authority acted witout regard to the public and was accountable to no one. Some villagers, though, don’t have confidence that the village can run parking policy. Nyackers, what do you think?
Though the authority is down, it is not out. The Nyack Parking Authority is a public benefit corporation that was created by the State Legislature 17 years ago, and it will remain a public authority on the books until 2015. So if the village has a change of heart, it can revive its lease with the authority in the future.
