Ridgewood NJ, The Ridgewood Health Department asks: Did you know that 1 in 11 Americans today suffer from Diabetes? Despite its prevalence, diabetes is an invisible disease. It affects men and women, people young and old, and people of all races, shapes and sizes. Often there are no outward signs from the 29 million Americans who fight this chronic illness every day. That’s why there is a critical need to foster awareness and education while breaking down stereotypes, myths and misunderstandings about this growing public health crisis that affects so many of us.

Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood Parks & Recreation Fly Fishing 101 class finished up on Tuesday, but not before catching a few!! The middle school students under the instruction of Nicole March and with help from some volunteers from East Jersey Trout Unlimited, caught 2 sunnies and a rainbow trout (catch and release). The six week program taught the basics of casting, tying knots, learning parts of the stream and what bugs the fish like to eat. The next Fly Fishing 101 class will be taught in the spring and a few fly tying workshops will be hosted over the winter. Space is limited.

What part of this equation don’t you understand?
Employees are not parking any further away. The empty spots are a direct result of the increased meter rates. any merchant in town can tell you how bad the numbers are of late. We understand that the social gadflys are aghast at the sight of a parking garage and the above article tries to float the issue without directly addressing it. Cute. Boneheaded move for the village as usual as they simply drove all the customers away. Lots of options out there and Downtown Ridgewood is not one of them.
The merchants I’ve spoken with in the Broad Street area have said business is off since the kiosks came in. In my experience, I see drivers u-turning all over the place into and out of spots – in front of cops, to boot. Safety has dropped below meter revenue & leaf fines in priorities of the VH and police department.

What is needed are fewer cars more public transportation. NO parking garage here no tearing down of islands at train station. Being satisfied with the room there is without mutilating the town design and encouraging more cars. Stores get enough business the way it is now. Making space for more cars on these narrow streets is wrong from a safety angle, an aesthetic angle, a health pollution angle, a comfort angle meaning more crowding. When town gets built up it will be another city like Hackensack.

Ridgewood NJ, it looks like the Village Council has solved the parking problems in the Central Business District once and for all . Since the new meter rates went into effect and the Ridgewood Police became more active in ticketing repeat parkers and employees taking up street parking , parking spots now abound .
Several recent trips to the Central Business District we have noticed plenty of parking even on Chestnut street a notoriously difficult street to park .
One reader suggests that perhaps some employees are parking father away searching for free parking or finally using the employee parking .
Employee parking has been a major point of contention during all the attempts to solve the parking problems .

It is almost hard to believe that Ridgewood (and neighboring towns) have residents with sub zero brains–at least as far as preventing robbery. What is so hard to understand about the above placard? It is composed of 4 letter words LOCK, TAKE KEYS. If we actually have residents that can’t understand such simple terms, Ridgewood’s education is in even worse trouble than we thought.
