Ridgewood NJ, at Wednesday’s night Council meeting residents voiced concerns over the additional spaces at the Ridgewood Train station . The main concern has now shifted to to an issue the Ridgewood blog has commented for some time. Its not the parking its CONGESTION !
A reader commented ,”by re-configuring the grassy medium ….none of these experts even use the train lot try exiting between 6 and 730 on a dark winter night..pedestrian death trap”
Why the answer is simple the , STUPID SUICIDE BIKE LANES. The “traffic easing” project at the train trestle did more damage to Village businesses in the Central Business district than any other misstep . It is well documented that the so called “traffic easing ” makes both West Ridgewood and Godwin impassable during certain hours of the day . This will clearly only be exacerbated buy new construction on Franklin. Going from two lanes to single lanes was just DUMB and DANGEROUS.
