The Village Council turned down the Board of Education’s (BOE) request to convert specific spaces along Heermance Place into permit-only parking.
“It is my feeling that we should not grant this request,” Councilwoman Bernadette Walsh said during a council work session last week. Walsh’s sentiment was echoed with little discussion by Mayor Keith Killion, Deputy Mayor Tom Riche and Councilman Paul Aronsohn. Councilman Stephen Wellinghorst was absent.
The BOE previously asked that the village designate 12 parking spots on Heermance, the one-way road that runs in front of Ridgewood High School, as staff-only parking. The spaces are currently open to faculty and students and are filled on a first-come, first-serve basis. Had the village approved the school board’s request, the spots would have required a permit between 7 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday.
