THE RIDGEWOOD NEWS
The Village Council held a special meeting Tuesday to continue the discussion on a parking garage for Hudson Street.
Six firms responded to the village’s request for proposal (RFP) for the garage; that number was narrowed down to four before the meeting began.
“We went through talking about each firm’s strengths, weaknesses and fees, and we’ve come down to four firms that are most qualified to serve the village,” said Deputy Mayor Albert Pucciarelli. “They’ll be presenting their concepts, their designs, their thought processes on what this parking garage will look like.”
The governing body will now deliberate on the proposals, and should narrow its choices by the next council meeting, officials said.
Here is a look at what the council will be discussing.

THE RECORD
RIDGEWOOD — The village council moved Wednesday night to select a parking consulting firm that will design a large public garage downtown.
The Ridgewood council could adopt a resolution at its meeting Sept. 16 to hire Desman Design, a firm based in New York City.
The firm, once hired, will prepare architectural renderings for presentation to the council next month, officials said.
I was just wondering if any of these firms have wine and dined any Council members or the VM?
“This business will get out of control and we’ll be lucky to live through it.”
Get ready for tax increases
I’m wondering if we accept money from NJ transit or Bergen County are we then obligated to open up the garage to everyone which would make this a commuter parking garage and do nothing to solve the parking problem in Ridgewood.

Check with Roberta. She was pushing Hass (Haas?) ver hard and was clearly disappointed that they did not get the bid.
to 8:35 am – yes.
There are still traffic/infrastructure updates that would need to be funded if the high density housing plan is approved, let’s not forget those costs!
