Ridgewood NJ, the Ridgewood blog has heard from Village commuters that the tunnel under the train tracks is absolutely fine. It is well lit, and it is functional. There’s an area or two that needs a little shoring up, and it needs some power washing, and a coat of fresh paint. Somehow this is turning in to a $1 million price tag, followed by another $1 million price tag by Jeannie Johnson and her pie-in-the-sky plans for mosaics and murals. $2 million for a tunnel that people just walk through on their way to catch the train, or on their way to get home after work. Fiscal responsibility ? We think not!
