Ridgewood OEM, Public Safety, Public Works and Village Staff preparing for the storm
Village Services Update:
We have been meeting and planning at Village Hall. The staff that is needed to deal with this storm will largely be staying on premises throughout the storm. Our issue with sending them home is their ability to get back during the storm.
Streets: We started brining the streets yesterday to prepare them for the storm. Please do not put snow out on the streets – when you remove the snow from your sidewalks it should be going back on your lawns. We will also strive to keep the corners as manageable as possible so that residents with corner properties can more easily do their share in providing a pathway to cross the street safely.
Sanitation/Recycling/Bulk: We have cancelled sanitation and recycling pick-up for tomorrow and bulk pick-up for Wednesday. However, we are planning on picking up recycling in Section 2 on Wednesday. Also, when we resume garbage pick-up, we ask that you bring your barrels to the end of your driveway until snow and ice conditions improve.
Parking: We will be banning on street parking later on tonight; overnight parking in the Central Business District will initially be at Hudson and Prospect Lots only.
Power: If your power does go out, please call PSE&G directly at 1-800-436-7734. The Village will be monitoring this situation as well.
Resident Communications:
Please check for updates at our website (www.ridgewoodnj.net)
We will also be issuing OEM outgoing calls to residents as appropriate. We are sensitive to overcalling but we will always err on the side of keeping our residents safe.
Best,
Roberta Sonenfeld
