Ridgewood Could face Staff and or Service Cuts to Fund Hudson Garage

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, Is possible that Ridgewood services will have to be cut, or taxes be raised to pay for the garage. The Village Councils’ former financial projections were erroneous, it turns out. They are shocked that they made such a glaring error.

The council is not certain that raising rates to $1.25 an hour would deter people from parking in Ridgewood. They are considering three different options for raising rates; in some places 75 cents an hour and $1.25 in other places.

Ridgewood NJ, Early last year the Ridgewood Environmental Advisory Committee (REAC) decided to join numerous New Jersey municipalities and environmental organizations in opposing the widespread use of single-use plastic bags. In May 2018, at our request, the Ridgewood Chamber of Commerce and Ridgewood Guild surveyed their members and asked if they would support or oppose reducing the use of plastic bags. We received four responses, none opposing a reduction.

An Open Letter from Kensington Senior Living to the Village of Ridgewood

Dear Village of Ridgewood Community,

Kensington Senior Living recently presented a concept plan to the Ridgewood Village Council for a 95+/- room assisted living community to be built on the current site of Ridgewood Vehicle, Barry’s Ridgewood Auto Body and a single-family home (246, 256, and 264 South Broad Street). Specifically, Kensington asked that the Village Council refer the project to the Village’s Planning Board in order to study the property to determine if it meets the criteria to be designated an Area in Need of Redevelopment. It is Kensington’s belief that the property meets several of the necessary criteria to be designated as an Area in Need of Redevelopment, including the fact that it is a non-conforming use and is likely environmentally contaminated.

Ridgewood NJ, If it is snowing or going to snow overnight, please do not park your vehicles on the streets, in order to allow our plows to do their work in clearing the snow. All sidewalks in residential districts must be cleared within 24 hours of the snow falling. Please do not place snow into the street; instead, place it back onto your own property. In addition, if you have a fire hydrant on your property, please clear it of any snow accumulation.

Ridgewood Council Defers on Parking Meter Rate Increase

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, The village council Wednesday night backed away from a series of parking rate hikes that are needed to fund the Hudson Street Parking garage. The council declined to introduce an ordinance that would raise on- and off-street hourly parking to $1.25 from $0.75 starting January 1st, 2020. Parking rate revenues are meant to fund both the currently under construction Hudson Street Garage and the village’s new smart parking meter program. Council members have been at odds for weeks about how many quarters visitors should pony up to park in the central business district.
