Ridgewood NJ, in August the newsblog “Tap into Ridgewood (https://www.tapinto.net/towns/ridgewood/sections/government/articles/ridgewood-s-master-plan-draft-still-not-released ) attempted to create the impression that despite the the planning board start of reexamined of the master plan in 2016, and the Village of Ridgewood officially adopted its visioning process in October of 2018 ( www.visionridgewood.org ) ,multiple Ridgewood Planning Board meetings devoted to the master plan , regular Visioning emails to anyone who signs up , the Ridgewood blog posting at least 495 articles on the “Village Master Plan” , and copious discussions  on affordable housing and the Valley Hospital site ,the idea  that Ridgewood residents are completely unaware of the Village of Ridgewood master plan visioning process is beyond absurd .

Ridgewood NJ, many residents understand the importance of a vital and prosperous central business district. However there are great differences of opinion on what that actually means. To some it’s more outdoor dining ,plenty of parking , to others it’s pedestrian plaza but most residents want to see storefronts bustling with business activity . Often lost in the debate is simple maintenance . Clean streets and well manicured planters , no trash or garbage are shoppers and visitors’ first  impression.

Guide to Choosing Self-Defense Gear

self defense products 2419466335

If there is one consistent thing about our world, it’s its unpredictability. Our days follow each other one after another, not giving us any reasons to worry until one day halts this tranquil flow and unleashes an avalanche on us. How many robbery victims anticipated an assault when they left their homes? We all think that bad things happen only to other people, but every day proves that the term “other people” is very inclusive. A selected few can afford to stay at home to avoid the potential risks of the outside world, but this measure is only a temporary solution. A day might come when the peril will be waiting around the corner, and you’ll be the first person that comes by.

Ridgewood NJ, on Sunday afternoon, 09/04, Ridgewood Police Patrol Officer Andrew Van Dyke was dispatched in response to a 911 telephone call that reported an errant passenger vehicle found parked along a popular nature/waking path, the Village of Ridgewood’s Dunham Trail.
