the staff of the Ridgewood blog
Ridgewood NJ, we are extending the due date for your feedback on the Draft of the Village of Ridgewood Master Plan – Section 1: Our Village, Our Future to Friday, May 29.
Comments are welcome from the Village community, which includes residents; local organizations, groups, and businesses; boards and committees; and any other members of the public who are interested in Ridgewood’s future.
An online Comment Form has been created to receive comments. If you are responding on behalf of a Village organization, group, board, or committee, the Comment Form is designed to accept comments on behalf of that entity.
The current pandemic, which started at the tail end of the visioning process, will likely have major impacts on the economy and on society that will reverberate through every community for years to come. While the visioning process is coming to a close, the process of formulating the next sections of the Master Plan, which the Village has not yet scheduled, will include more detailed analysis and further public engagement that can factor in impacts of the pandemic. Nevertheless, since Section 1 of the Master Plan identifies core values, objectives, and principles, we have included a question in the Comment Form for you to consider how the pandemic and its potential impacts might reinforce, reshape, or generate new core values, objectives, and principles contained in the Draft.
Click here to go to the Reports page of this website, from which you can download a PDF file of the Draft. A link to the Comment Form is also located on that page.
A revised schedule for meetings after the comment period closes will be posted closer to the due date.
There is nowhere you can leave your comments or opinions about the master plan. They bury those links deep into the doc until you quit in frustration. They do not want your opinion but want to make it look like an open process which is not. They have their master plan ready to go.
