Ridgewood NJ, UPDATE: The Village Council has requested that the Village’s Engineering Department review alternative options with respect to the route(s) dump trucks will take after being loaded with soil excavated at The Dayton construction site. Council members are reluctant to sign off on any plan that directs all trucks through a single residential neighborhood. Alternative options may include distributing the truck traffic via two (2) or more separate routes. A Resolution approving the associated Soil Movement Permit was scheduled for approval at last night’s Village Council Public Meeting, but was removed from the agenda in advance of the meeting.

we could use the dirt…
Dump it at town hall and build a dirt wall to prevent the police station from flooding when it rains.
Or take all that dirt and replace the million dollar cancer causing turf over on Maple with some dirt and plant grass.
Or fill in Graydon so those afraid of bird can build a concrete monstrosity
I couldn’t believe my ears, at last board of ed meeting where parents screamed about lack of communication about the “INCIDENT.” T
Fishbein went through the schools with powerpoint and pointed that they want the taxpayers to come up with MILLIONS of dollars to upgrade the windows and bathrooms and other cosmetic fix ups , so the kids can have a good environment in which to work, words like appealing, good condition, safe. ( only justified change I thought was new fire alarm system at high school if really needed, it would cost over 100K if I remember correctly)
Hey, Fishbein , how about being able to communicate properly to parents during a crises.
So what about not allowing kids to bring in Smart Phones and text while class is going on, Fishbein. Apparently only one teacher has that rule in a German Class, I think it was middle school. Kids have to put Smart phone on shelves during class.
What about teaching about Social Media dangers. Maybe that would provide a safe and appealing environment.
NO MONEY SHOULD BE SPENT ON THESE COSMETIC CHANGES. IF A TOILET WORKS KEEP IT. IF WINDOWS ARE NOT BROKEN KEEP THEM. LUX schools are UNNECESSARY
MANY GREAT INTELLECTUALS , writers, scientists, did not have Lux schools and they did great things. Stop this materialistic nonsense and get to work teaching values.
It’s amazing that the mayor and council read this blog more than any other new press in the area.
