Hackensack NJ, Bergen County Executive Jim Tedesco participated in the Bergen Volunteer Center’s Friday Forum “SUPERCHARGED” on the topic of electric vehicles. Transitioning away from combustion engines to alternative fuel vehicles (AFV’s) is an important step towards reducing emissions, yet, up until 2021, it was nearly impossible for counties and local municipalities to procure AFV’s including of hybrid, electric, hydrogen, and fuel cell vehicles through capital funds. Being a priority for my administration, our team at the County had been working with the Bergen legislative delegation since 2018 to change NJ fiscal bond law to allow these purchases just like any other SUV or truck and thankfully the change was signed into law last November.

Ridgewood NJ, Despite the absence of heavy rains or high winds, large tree limbs continue to fall on almost a daily basis in Ridgewood, keeping police, fire, and PSE&G personnel on the the move. The most recent tree affected was located in the side yard of 353 Highland Avenue, at the corner of McKinley Place. The fallen limb took out electric, phone, and cable TV service to one (1) home, and blocked McKinley Place between Grandview Circle and Highland Avenue. Fire and police units responded to a call from a passing Bergen County Sheriff’s officer shortly after 7 AM on Sunday, 07/19, although a neighbor indicated that the limb actually fell at about 5 AM. No injuries were reported in the incident. PSE&G crews were expected to make the area safe, which would allow Ridgewood Parks & Tree Department crews to clear the blocked roadway. In addition to losing power & communications lines, a fence was also damaged at 353 Highland Avenue.
