the staff of the Ridgewood blog
Ridgewood NJ, Do you have a burning question about local traffic, a new idea for our parks, or concerns about upcoming Village projects? Tomorrow is your chance to get direct answers.
The Village of Ridgewood is hosting its first Council Chat of the year on Saturday, March 28th, providing a unique “open door” opportunity for residents to engage directly with local leadership.
What is a Council Chat?
Unlike formal, televised council meetings where public comment is strictly timed, these chats are designed for informal, face-to-face dialogue. Two members of the Village Council will be available to sit down with you, listen to your feedback, and discuss the issues that matter most to your neighborhood.

Poison.
Good luck if you’re planning to chat with Councilwoman Winograd. Nothing she says ever makes sense to me.
What a waste of time. They never listen or act on resident concerns anyway
because the council knows they will be elected no matter what becuase of the D next to their names
Should read “implied D.”
Let’s keep up the charade.
^^^this. It’s a grave don’t waste your time. They don’t care
yes agreed you get what you voted for
My question: Will you all please quit?
