Old Bridge NJ , Mark Razzoli, Republican candidate for the House of Representatives in New Jersey’s 12th Congressional District today called on his opponent to withdraw her support for H.R. 5383, known as the “New Way Forward Act”.
H.R. 5383 dismantles the public safety provisions of the American immigration system. Among other things, it eliminates “crimes of moral turpitude” as a legal basis for deportation of a criminal alien, and greatly reduces the category of “aggravated felony” as a legal basis for deportation.

Ridgewood NJ, today is National Pizza Pie Day 2020 in United States. New Jersey’s official Twitter account has started yet another food fight with a bold tweet declaring itself “the pizza capital of the world.”
Yes, the world — as in, New Jersey thinks they have better pies than both New York and Italy. This is the second time the account has gone viral for trying to scrap with regions that arguably have already claimed a superior title. Last month, the official Twitter account questionably declared itself “Bagel capital of the world.”

“This road has been in use for more than 200 years. Closing it is stupid. 40 years ago when the state had to repair the bridge over the Waldwick RR tracks this was the detour route. Closing it is stupid. The biggest problem is enforcement. People stopping at or on tracks to discharge passengers, trucks that are over the limit, idiots who don’t know how to drive slowing down on an uphill grade causing following cars to get stuck on the tracks, etc.”

“The stats used by the state were obtained when Glen avenue was closed for the PSEG pipe upgrade that forced big trucks to find alternate routes. I’d bet it was the REASON NJDOT would not allow PSEG to excavate W. Glen ave under the trestle for the gas pipe upgrade, which required a longer road closure to ‘push’ pipes underneath. THEN they used this TIME to promote their agenda, which was to close Glenwood by forcing truck traffic off w.glen WITHOUT proper Temporary signage indicating the weight limits on that road. The only time there was temporary proper signage was the few days waldwick PD did some details at the intersection of w.glen and monroe with their temporary sign. The bureacrats at NJ DOT scammed us on this one BIG TIME. I have lived here and driven that hill since the late 1960s and its a very RARE occasion that a truck requires assistance after IGNORING the signs. PS.. The dumb ass village sign was 1/2 down the hill so a truck wouldnt read it until IT WAS ALREADY stuck. Its since been moved to a more appropriate location. So if the bureacrats at the state are successful with this stupid proposal, RPD will need to add a permanent post on W. glen ave to deal with all of the accidents of vehicles making left turns onto w. glen after heading south on Upper Blvd, Hillcrest, and Heights, all of who would otherwise use the glenwood road crossing. The traffic at the intersection of maple and w. glen will be backed up with all the extra traffic. Its bad enough now that the traffic eastbound is backed up to oak street on w. glen during busy times. Actions have consequences. Most don’t recall when the state shut down the racetrack road light/exit on RT 17, it displaced all that traffic into the walthery ave neighborhood from linwood to glen. that used to be a nice quiet street. now they have signs prohibiting RH turns from linwood west into walthery, pershing etc for the after 4pm time. This bone headed idea will displace an orderly flow of traffic *except for the few morons who cant drive* and create problems elsewhere”

Many for YEARS !! repeatedly posted real honest concerns as to the direction that the towns elected officers were taking us.
We have arrived at a that poor place ..just look up and down to the shoddy roadways and it is looking like
RIDGEWOOD As we knew it -and invested in the form of time ,efforts & cost to maintain nice homes and paying high : school & local /state taxes -is well on its way to another cheesy mess of a poorly run town.Roads are also a disgrace,
Time to get out..sadly..Last one please kick the last can of
regrets over onto VOR CITY HALL/ship of fools .
unlikely anyone there gives a damm about anything.

“I drive up and down this road every morning as I take my kid to school. It is fine. I have done it for years and never had a problem. It is a big time saving shortcut. It mostly serves upper RW, HHK sees no benefit from using it. I have never heard of anyone head on collisions, people getting hit etc. Drivers respect each other most of the time. If the problem is with commercial drivers then just put a huge sign that says “No commercial driving. Fine $500. ” and that’s that. And police can also survey the area more often for violators. Closing either direction is just stupid. It fixes NOTHING and only creates problems. Those who can’t use the road anymore will fly down Maple to compensate for the time lost by nor being able to use the shortcut. Knuckleheads will be knuckleheads no matter how much you try to control them.
@Felipe. Majority of HHK station parking lot is used by RW residents.”
Some random musings…
What’s the rationale behind closing this road? Too many auto accidents? Too many vehiclular deaths? Too many pedestrian injuries? Too expensive to maintain? Too many stuck trucks? Who benefits from the closing? Remember, It’s ALWAYS all about the money. Figure out who’s making more money or who’s spending less if the road’s been closed, and you’ll know why it happens.

Cleanliness is next to godliness, so they say! Well, this statement couldn’t be any truer when it comes to your home. While there’s hardly any fun in dusting, wiping, vacuuming, brushing, scrubbing and washing stuff in your home, no doubt about it, there are more than a dozen reasons why keeping your home clean is important.
From keeping you and your family healthy to maintaining your home’s comfort, your overall well-being largely depends on how clean your home is.

Ridgewood NJ ,Village of Ridgewood Mayor Ramon M Hache said on Facebook.”Just an update on the NJDOT plan to change Glenwood Road to a one way street at the bottom of the hill leading into Ho-Ho-Kus. I have personally reached out to Gov. Murphy’s office to seek his support in pushing back on the NJDOT plan. Not only do I disagree with their plan, the NJDOT did not properly inform the Village and have failed to exhaust all available and logical options. Furthermore, I believe the NJDOT failed to provide adequate justification for their plan while not properly considering the impact of such plan on our residents. I would like for the Village Council to explore our available legal options which is why I have placed this on Closed Session for Wednesday night.”
