Ho Ho Ho , don’t worry folks. Yes, taxes will go up up up because of the garage, but if you buy thousands of dollars of items in the central business district , you will get a discount on your taxes. What $10. Remember, Hache said they are working on a plan to offer rewards for shopping in business district ; you get a property tax discount. My foot !
Ridgewood will lose its distinction of being charming and villagey and quaint. And the garage will need a big police presence. Very muggable at night in the dark. Police cost money ; raised taxes, big time.
And it is a horrible location. That intersection now is the pits to drive through.
Yes, how will the garage be paid for? Raised pricing on parking? I won’t pay more to park and spend in the CBD. Even with the promised discount on my taxes.
They will tell us that the garage will pay for itself, with use? I ain’t usin it. Even in the daylight, it is a trap for muggers.
Huge , no matter what size and ugly for charmin historical Ridgewood.
Uhhh, taxes are about to go up >2% because 65% of your tax bill is for the $105 million BOE “budgetzilla” and you’re worried about a garage leading to higher municipal taxes? Don’t worry, this Council wants to raise your municipal taxes above the 2% property tax cap even without the garage, but so does the BOE. Wake up people!
This is Sedon’s plan?
No garage!
NO GARAGE.
Takes a lot of nerve to table another Garage Proposal on behalf of the small business Mafia after what the good citizens had to go through last year in order to
stop the prior regimes screwing of the taxpayers and halt those blatant neighborhood destroyers at work…..
How about paving a few streets VOR..its like Beirut out here where the small people live…..not sexy enough?.

G A R A G E
I’m in too – NO FRIGGIN GARAGE
!
It’s just goes to show you how STUPID you people really are.
Listen to 10:13 and get your HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS and pay the trick attention. Your so busy bitching about a sorely needed parking facility and just over your right shoulder their shoving a 105 million dollar BOE budget up your keester. And you don’t get that? What part of stupid is getting bye you?
Listen to 12:24 We already have proven the garage is not needed, walk a few blocks on a Saturday night. Fix the damn streets…especially the sidestreets which don’t get any attention.
5.27 sorely needed my ass
6:53 and 2:43, you’ve got your heads in the sand. Where is your moral outrage at a BOE budget – which is 65% of your property taxes – that is $105mn and UP almost 3% YoY? It’s an “everyone a winner” budgetzilla monstrosity and you’re moaning about a garage leading to higher taxes? Do you have any perspective at all or are you just one issue people?
Interesting that Sedon put forward the plan after studying the issue for over a year. Where do the other Council members sit on this? The fence?
