Village of Ridgewood Mayor Susan Knudsen




The money they spend on the purchase and the money they lose on taxes every single year will be pittance compared to what the y will pend on environmental remediation. It will run into the millions . Do we want a pocket park built over soils contaminated with petroleum hydrocarbons, heavy metals, and other industrial chemicals? At the very least, this place is going to require an vapor extraction system , air stripper, or groundwater treatment.
Yes, wise Village Council members, let’s reward the speculators for screwing Ridgewood over for years. Reward them for blighting a property. And let’s make sure we assume they’re environmental liability in the process. All while saying that we don’t have money for police, sanitation and sidewalks. Sounds like a great plan.
Oh, they have enough money for police and fire. Look at their overtime budget.
They all have new trucks specialized vehicles etc as if money grows on village trees.The Garbage Truck all look brand new ..these sanitation teams work hard for us no complaint implied..
Salary, overtime and absured pensions. Enough is enough
It is ridiculous. How much money is spent in the overtime budget for police and fire. They need to get their budgets in order. You have cops making 275,000 with all the time come on ridiculous, what a waste
Monday through Friday parking is limited with all the restaurants blocking many spots with the barricades making it harder for people to park and shop. Then on the weekends, you are closing the main streets and creating more of a challenge for parking on shoppers not fair to the retailers. This seems to only benefit the restaurants. But it is all Greek to me.
The village is so toxic . Everything in town is overpriced. No wonder people come to the shop once they don’t come back.
To the bear and counsel and village manager. Please make sure all village vehicles are marked and lettered. We never have noticed a few village vehicles that are not properly marked with a decal stating that is a village vehicle. If the vehicle has empty plates on it, it should be properly identified to what department that vehicle belongs to. We have noticed a few SUVs that are not, and no, we are not talking about police or vehicles. We are talking about. Department of public works. Every other vehicle in their departments are properly lettered.
Thank you concerned Village residents.
A bear is in charge now? Maybe better.
Yes, there’s no excuse that we have vehicles throughout the village that are not Leonard and numbered correctly per department. Why is a few vehicles not Leonard properly? Is someone trying to be sneaky?
Leonard has been too busy to do this, whatever it is.
Well, that’s some thing that the new village manager needs to address. Someone believes that they are above the village code.
RHS to eliminate the “captain” designation across the entire athletic program?
Can it be?
The village is done, no wonder the mayor and council brought him a new manager. He look at the past three years how the village has been run the morale is down to shit, village directors, have overdone their stay. The supervisors that are left have been put in by the old management, it’s time to make a big change ,and it’s time for all new directors and supervision it’s time.
The place is a mess, there are no more heroes, the ones that are left like us are just followers, that’s what they want. Do as I say not as I do. They don’t want leaders anymore because what happens is you get too smart then you are a threat to upper management. So every day we just mosey along.
Yeah, maybe tomorrow will get some hotdogs so my ass gets fatter. and then I will go home and spin my windmill.
I hope the new village manager is making his rounds to every department, especially at 7 AM. So you exactly see what’s going on.
Yes that would be perfect. The hot dog crew better watch out. We got hot mustard for you.
Can some on clean up the train tunnel. It smells bad, pee, pee
Thanks
And the bus station. It’s a disgrace.
What a beautiful shit show .
What a beautiful shit show .
Just look at fat hot dog boy. 350’ pounds
What a lazy person.amazing, talk about being a great puppet. It’s so sad’ what happened to the village.
Under my thumb! Enjoy.
You new newbie’s need to start working.
U telling me.
Yes, regarding the top post, the village Matic, should I dress this. Village vehicles should be numbered and properly marked with a villager Ridgewood markings on every vehicle. Why do we have a few better not. We can understand if they are detective vehicles. But from our investigation we have SUVs in the department of public works running around that are not marked. Again this subject test come up. The mayor council and village manager need to repair this thank you Yours truly the investigating crew.
Hey manager , it’s time to have a talk with the workers one on one in private. Just maybe you will get the opportunity for information.
We see the council approving all the proposals for the new project on the grounds of the existing west saddle river rd.
Big money.
And who is going to maintain this.
And are ready for this storm.
12 hours on, 12 hours off, will be the new law for snowplowing in New Jersey. Followed by federal government.
Very big changes coming. It’s all in the judges hands.
Again, and again, this issue keeps on coming up, the old manager did nothing on this issue. Hopefully the new manager will address this issue. Once again, he is informed why do we have a fumes ability vehicles that are not properly marked &. Numbered I know we have a few undercover vehicles in the police department but that’s it. Someone is trying to be very sneaky but we see what’s going on. We have eyes all over the place.
And why can’t the manager just get this done. Another example of do nothing.
Has Army Corp of Engineers ever been consulted? re: field flooding/solitions?
Who is responsible for maintaining the new “bump-outs” on Glen Ave????
Was the feasibility ever been discussed at a public meeting including accident/safety
stats?
The village needs to get their shit together. So many people are not impressed with how they have handled the situation with the storm.
And the top brass will continue to say some bull shit.
Clean up village property on chestnut st . Litter and garbage. It smells. Garbage trucks stink. Clean the windows. And doors.
Does anyone wash those garbage trucks parked in that lot because we smell it down the block at the apartments?
Hey, I was just thinking of you Jolly Green giant. How’s the couch doing? Are you sleeping well. You jackass.
Oh yeah ,part of the rat crew.
( troublemakers )
Yup’’. A “”. H””. Crew. They are so Sneaky.
It’s amazing how they talk about every one in that small office. They are bunch of babies, and they know jack shit. And the supervisor has no balls. They are hiring all friends .
I got my eyeball on all those individuals.
The only way for the CBD to survive is to make a free parking for everyone. No one wants to spend money for parking. Shut down parking authority immediately. Advertise free parking in the village on channel 12 inches maybe that will boost business throughout the CBD. Because nothing is going to pay for that $20 million parking garage. The bottom line is swallow it and say yes we screwed up. Just like the electric automobile watch is gonna happen, it’s gonna be a big billion dollar screwup .
Just remember, my fellow neighbors, a name is it on that black at the parking garage or the ones who pushed and voted for this big garage that but the village in a financial hole. They will never ever recoup all that money. They’ll be lucky to make enough money each year just to pay for maintenance. The taxpayers of the village should request how much revenue they make just from the garage. We would like that number but of course I’m sure they have a few set of books.
Well , well , hummm
What’s going on in the village, we have that the morale is back at the gutter, what a shame
Let’s get my leaves picked up it’s going to snow next week
What we would like to know, is who authorized to buy a brand new SUV, for the department of public, works in, which is a vehicle like that is useless in that department, and the vehicle is unmarked, not lettered at all, or any numbers on it. Especially at times like this when we need the funds for other major projects like a pedestrian bridge from SLO River Road to Kingsbridge Road. Funding for sidewalks on the west side of town. Important things like this safety. This is totally absurd from our investigation. Unnecessary spending , this is extremely poor performance on upper department heads by allowing this to happen. I should be ashamed of themselves. Unnecessary.
Let’s make sure everybody does a pre-trip in the morning.
Make sure everybody washes their hands before Thanksgiving dinner. Shaking everyone’s hands, kissing, hugging, and then grabbing food come on wash your hands. And bring dessert. Don’t be cheap.
Hey you ,yeah you puppy dog man ,make sure you check those Lugnuts. Use snake. Everyone knows now you’re a little mouse.
Coffee time
Hey now????
