RIDGEWOOD – Concerns over increased traffic and school overcrowding have sparked a battle over several new apartment complexes in Ridgewood.
Some residents in the upscale community have formed a grassroots movement called “Save Ridgewood,” which is fighting to block three proposed apartment complexes from going up.
The group says the three- and four-story buildings would change Ridgewood’s small town charm. They are also concerned hundreds of new residents could create traffic and parking problems.
