Ridgewood NJ, Despite the absence of heavy rains or high winds, large tree limbs continue to fall on almost a daily basis in Ridgewood, keeping police, fire, and PSE&G personnel on the the move. The most recent tree affected was located in the side yard of 353 Highland Avenue, at the corner of McKinley Place. The fallen limb took out electric, phone, and cable TV service to one (1) home, and blocked McKinley Place between Grandview Circle and Highland Avenue. Fire and police units responded to a call from a passing Bergen County Sheriff’s officer shortly after 7 AM on Sunday, 07/19, although a neighbor indicated that the limb actually fell at about 5 AM. No injuries were reported in the incident. PSE&G crews were expected to make the area safe, which would allow Ridgewood Parks & Tree Department crews to clear the blocked roadway. In addition to losing power & communications lines, a fence was also damaged at 353 Highland Avenue.

“The 400-page order really is starting, to us, a process on the hill,” said one telecommunications industry lobbyist who was granted anonymity in order to speak freely about the plans.
