THE RECORD
RIDGEWOOD — Officials say a street-improvement project that has upset some residents is likely to be revised to allow traffic lanes to be restored later if the plan doesn’t work.
Village Manager Roberta Sonenfeld said at Wednesday night’s council meeting that proposed changes could be made to the $500,000 project based on “residents’ concerns, and some of our own internal brainstorming.”
She was among several Ridgewood officials who met on Tuesday night with residents of the neighborhood where the work, which should be completed in July, is taking place.
Shovels first hit dirt last week on the project, which officials maintain will improve safety for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians around Garber Square, as well as along Franklin Avenue and Broad Street.

Sure they will change it. JUST WAIT
Complete with tax-funded “change orders.”
all of a sudden it will be cost prohibitive to make any changes.
all of a sudden a flurry of supporters of the “one lane” model will come out ranting that a “small group of troublemakers” want to “roll back the progress made” by going to one lane.
Got the play book.
Good now get on board and stop dreaming that any future changes will be made to Garber Square.
Stop it now or live with it forever.
Love the fact that they are now going to do a traffic study after they have already impeded traffic and people have already adjusted their habits and started using other roads. Only in Ridgewood.
By the way, my new route takes me up Bellair Road where there are some lovely houses. Beats the heck out of looking at all the empty lots, parked trucks and construction equipment at Ken Smith’s and sitting at the lights in downtown Ridgewood. Also keeps me from stopping and shopping. So, win/win for me. Probably not so good for the retailers.
Thats so true #4. Now they are doing the study?? If this was not so ridiculous it would be funny
