Ridgewood NJ, And when you dig in to the Walker Report 2015 , it gets worse. In 2017, the village hiked annual parking pass rates 25%. That money went right into the general fund for the village. The village has already accounted for and already spends that new $ and every other dime of parking fees it collects and still taxes rise. So if the current intake of taxpayer dollars and parking fees can’t support the village expenses, how would the additional $1.4 million dollars/year in garage expenses for the next 30 years get paid when the next round of proposed parking rake hikes only adds up to $325k a year?
