“There’s plenty of parking . . . on select days . . . during summer . . . or school vacations when many commuters are out-of-town on vacation with their families. During the ordinary work week during the regular year, the parking lots are typically filled to capacity by an early hour of the morning. Anyone claiming otherwise is being hugely disingenuous or deliberately deceitful.

” I think the building owner OR the shopkeeper should take care of them. I don’t think that village employees need to do this. It is not that big a deal to get a flat of impatiens in May and plant them, water them a couple of times a week, come on. And as for the ones filled with weeds and cigarette butts, shame on the shopkeepers who can’t take five minutes in the morning to spruce them up.”

It is not my responsibility to maintain the flower bed, or my landlord, we did not install it we did not want it it’s the town‘s responsibility. End of story. The individual who said that must be the management of some sort. Town‘s responsibility hire people. Or hire a landscaper to maintain it.”

Ridgewood NJ, Several westside store owners in the central business district of Ridgewood are urging the Village council to reconsider the proposed elimination of two 15 miniute convenience parking spaces.
The mayor and council are exploring whether to get rid of two of the four 15-minute spots on West Ridgewood Avenue by the train station to improve traffic flow near Wilsey Square. Area business owners say the spaces are convenient for customers running into stores quickly, as well as for handicapped patrons, and presented the council with a petition to save the spaces .

If the (Ridgewood Water) suit was filed for the rate hikes in 2010 -2012, then I believe Paul Aronsohn was on the Council from 2008 joined by Albert and Gwenn In 2012. The three served til May 2016 and appointed the 6th council member ( actually manager) Roberta Sonenfeld. A lot of the blame for the current issues fall directly on their shoulders. Adios to the Three Amigos who left us in bad shape.

“Please feel free to drive on over there during the night and take these people to your home for food and shelter. Of course you won’t. It’s something “we” should do. For someone who is retired, I find it remarkable you’ve made it so far and haven’t figured out life’s issues. Yes, there will always be people who fall through the cracks and if we lived in a perfect world, where everyone did their best, was honest, and tried their hardest, we probably could solve all these problems. If Ridgewood started a program to help these people, do you have any idea just how many more would flock here knowing that there’s free stuff to be had? Sorry buddy, but life is a little competitive and it’s that way for a good reason. White privilege guilt is already becoming way too much of a thing with Liberals.”
