Reader says , “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”

“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.”

Application for Ridgewood 2021 Parking Permits Shows Lack of Non Resident Parking

Ridgewood Train Station
by Boyd Loving
Ridgewood NJ, in the off chance people return to the commuter life style , the application for 2021 parking permits suggests there will be no non-resident parking permits issued for the train station lot, nor for levels 2, 3, and 4 of the Hudson Street Parking Garage. Aren’t non-resident business/property owners now allowed to permit park at the Hudson Street Garage? I’ve seen some of them parked on level 4. Is the Village changing that policy for calendar year 2021, or is there another application form that’s not posted in the same place as this one is on the Village’s website?
