With Village Council permission, the Board of Education is planning to take parking spots away from Ridgewood High School (RHS) students, but thus far, the young drivers who will be directly impacted have not publicly discussed their potential loss.
At the urging of resident Boyd Loving, Mayor Paul Aronsohn said last week that reaching out to high school students and encouraging them to speak “is a good idea” when the governing body votes next month on an ordinance to change Heermance Street parking.
By a 3-to-2 vote, council members introduced an ordinance to designate the 23 parking spaces on Heermance as permit-only spots from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on school days. The Board of Education intends to limit the permits to RHS faculty and staff.
Parking on Heermance, a village-owned street located between RHS and Stadium Field, is currently available to students and staff on a first come first serve basis. For drivers who cannot find parking spots on the RHS campus, overflow parking is available at the Graydon South lot.
Way to Do It For The Kids
This is total nonsense teacher’s can park at the Graydon lot and walk like every one else they are not a privileged class.
