Ridgewood NJ, the pedestrian plaza was cancelled on Sunday due to inclement weather . This means all the streets in the Central Business District (CBD) are wide open.  Which brings up an interesting point of contention. Merchants were told once the pedestrian plaza was set up it was there for the weekend , rain or shine. So what changed ?  Seems rumblings from  the merchants and many restaurants are that the pedestrian plaza has failed to bring in the business . Many of the social media boosters who said they would never shop in Ridgewood if there was no pedestrian  plaza , have never shopped in Ridgewood .Much of the Village Council like the social media boosters have abandoned the Village central business district for the Jersey shore.
