Come on I’m sure some of the Dpw will be working setting up barricades. Sweep the parade route, sweep the business section. Which that section should be swept every single day during the summer. The town can afford to pay for it. And I don’t want to see any bullshit with thumbs down,
Commercial landscaping and construction noise, including from the use of hand tools such as hammers, will be prohibited on July 3 and 4.
Any violation can be reported to the Ridgewood Police.
“Actionable” means “can be the subject of a lawsuit.”
Good luck
