Ridgewood NJ, Employees of the Village of Ridgewood’s Streets Division transferred several dump truck loads of snow from the “North Graydon” parking lot to the Schedler Park property on Monday morning, 04/17.
The snow, removed from streets and parking lots in Ridgewood’s Central Business District and trucked to the “North Graydon” parking lot several weeks ago, is presumed to contain rock salt and other chemicals likely to be found on the surface of streets and parking lots.
Trash (e.g., plastic bottles and newspapers) was visible to several people walking along West Saddle River Road near adjacent to the Schedler property.
In an e-mail response to a resident who inquired as to why the snow was transported from Graydon to Schedler, Village Manager Heather A. Mailander wrote: “The Village had to move the snow from the Graydon Pool parking lot to another location, due to the fact that the paving contractors, who have begun their work, need a place to stage their operations and are now doing so in the Graydon Pool parking lot.”
