Ridgewood NJ, It goes with out saying that more than a year after Valley’s mishandled huge expansion plan to double its size was resoundingly rejected by the residents of Ridgewood and the Village Council The Hospital cavalierly submitted a new proposal that is virtually identical in scope and scale.
The project filed with the Ridgewood Planning Board this week still calls for the hospital to increase significantly from 570,000 to 910,000 square feet, excluding parking and includes buildings up to 94 feet high on a site in the middle of a residential neighborhood. https://www.northjersey.com/news/Valley_Hospital_submits_new_plan_to_expand.html#sthash.BLlIn46A.dpuf
In utter disregard for the residents of Ridgewood Valley’s management seems tone def to public skepticism as to the hospital expansion leaving only neighborhood watch dog CRR looking more out of the loop apparently thinking Valley would offer a more acceptable revised plan .
One can only wonder if Valley feels so confident in its current stacked deck at Village hall ,that it will take little effort to jam this over-sized elephant down the throats of Village residents .

This doesn’t qualify as news.
We’re going to get the shaft. It’s just a matter of time.
I have 2 questions . #1 is there any way the residents could force this issue to a referendum?
#2 Is there any civil recourse available to the residents, against the politicians who screwed them, other than voting them out of office this would be too late.
