>Wednesday Nights: Ladies’ Night Out at Basil & Thyme
Great food, music, discounts and fun!
The young Oak Street restaurant, Basil & Thyme, will be hosting a Ladies’ Night in future weeks. The cozy atmosphere and attentive staff make this the perfect environment for a quiet Wednesday evening on the town. Because the restaurant is a BYOB, women will instead be offered a ten percent discount on all menu items. In a break from the norm, live piano music will be present for much of the evening. Ladies are encouraged to save some money, relax with friends, and experience one of the new tastes of Ridgewood. Basil & Thyme looks forward to seeing you Wednesday.

THE RECORD
STAFF WRITER
Hackensack University Medical Center won a round Friday in its long-running battle to reopen the former Pascack Valley Hospital in Westwood.
Thanks to an appellate court decision released Friday, the medical center can now file an application with the state health department to open a hospital at the site it purchased at bankruptcy more than three years ago.
The medical center will submit its application on June 1, the deadline set when the state issued its call for applications, said spokeswoman Nancy Radwin.

>Cross Walk Safety : This specific location is all because of excessive speed
>Cross Walk Safety : This specific location is all because of excessive speed
The cross walks near whole foods are a big problem because the speeds coming up Godwin Ave are so excessive and there is a bend in the road. So you can look both ways and it will be totally clear – halfway across a car comes around the bend at 55mph and you don’t have a chance at those speeds. Really it is like trying to cross a highway because of the blind curve and the excessive speeds.
In the last year there have been two cars that I know of completely flip over because of out of control speed and a few weeks ago a car lost control and hit a telephone pole and broke it in half, the car was totalled. This specific location is all because of excessive speed. And the police do not sit on this bend – they sit at citizens park and at the Mobile gas station. The cars leave the light at lincoln and speed until the reach the light at Wisley Square.
This location has many accidents and it is all speed related, it is also has heavy foot traffic because of the schools, train, whole foods, shops and restaurants. This specific location needs real speed control and real traffic calming put in place to deter the speeds because the recommended speed is 20 mph and the average speed is between 45 and 55 mph. Just generalizing and saying watch out does not apply in this specific situation.
