So if Vagianos and other CBD stakeholders wont invest in solving their own problem, the notion of funding a garage becomes a non-starter. Clearly parking garage is not all that urgent unless it is to support an application for unrelated high density housing

Ridgewood NJ, During last night’s Village Council meeting it was announced that design changes requested by Council members have resulted in a projected cost increase of $900k for the Hudson Street Garage. Resident Boyd Loving pointed out that the requested design changes were cosmetic in nature only.That’s right folks; an additional $900k because those on the dais didn’t like the way it looked. Loving reminded council members ,”It’s a parking garage, not the Taj Mahal , $900k more in a heartbeat.”

The PIKE garage proposal has so far not cost the Village a penny , but some of the final numbers and lose ends are still missing.The proposed $8 million garage now $9 million garage will add 240 spaces for a net gain of 140 plus spaces, additionally the Village is moving forward with the 30 plus extra spaces at the Ridgewood train station ,by re-configuring the grassy medium .
