Special Public Meeting – Multi-Family Housing – January 8, 2016
Ridgewood NJ , There will be a Village Council Special Public Meeting held on Friday, January 8, 2016 @ 5PM in the Court Room at Village Hall. Various Consultants will be presenting proposals for the 4 Multi-Family Housing Studies covering; fiscal impact, traffic, education & municipal infrastructure.
The firms that are competing to conduct the special impact studies that residents overwhelmingly requested on September 30th. Â The question arises is ,”why would you schedule such a meeting at 5:00pm on a Friday unless you did not want residents to attend?”
Contrary to the view point promoted by the Deputy Mayor , most residents do have a jobs. Jobs are particular necessary to pay the enormous amount of federal ,state and local taxes . No one who can afford to live in Ridgewood who works in the private sector gets home that early .
The other issue that would make sense would be to delay any decision regarding the parking garage until the comprehensive studies are done. Â It makes absolutely no sense to hire an outside company to conduct the studies without including the proposed garage.
As one foot follows the Other..as said by a wiseman..SIR DO YOU HAVE NO Shame..5 pm public meeting on work day. Re a critical public policy issue. THIS IS A SCANDAL..THEY DONT EVEN PRETENT TO CARE ABOUT PUBLIC ACCESS LAWS
They are trying to pull a fast one here just watch.
