Just Wondering if the village owns a street sweeper anymore. Reason being my family and I went Into the CBD to have lunch. And then we went for a nice walk and we all noticed the streets are very filthy with Litter, just wondering what’s going on. Because we haven’t seen this before. It’s starting to look like New York City. Well anyway hopefully this will be addressed.
Thank you .

Ridgewood Nj, readers made plenty of suggestions as to what to do with the nearly empty Hudson Garage . Some readers including the Ridgewood blog suggested some sort of tourist attraction on the top deck , overs suggested a turf field, pickleball courts , a rooftop food court and moving the farmers market to the roof top of the Hudson garage .
“The root of the problem is the failure of our Village Council to distinguish between their Narrow interests and the underlying drivers of value for Village residents. Their self-interests are reflections of important aspects of Village business; but however important and useful for Village planning, they should not be used in a self-congratulatory list of “accomplishments” as surrogates for the underlying value of the Council’s work. Genuine value creation fur residents requires a Council culture that compels our Governing body to pursue projects that promise to improve life for all residents, whether it be property tax reduction or paving our third world roads – while not treating their own narrow self-interests (Schedler, Elks HQ, Hudson Garage) as ends in themselves.”
