Ridgewood NJ ,At a recent public meeting of the Village Council, Village Manager Roberta Sonenfeld reported that the large parking lot at the former Ken Smith Motors will be repurposed by the property’s owner.
The lot is now being used for CBD employee parking on a permit only basis. Village of Ridgewood parking enforcement agents patrol the lot and issue summonses to violators. The Village currently receives a percentage of each permit fee.
The effective date for complete control by the property’s owner was said to be 1/1/2016. It is reported that the owner plans to offer commuter parking as well as employee parking (maybe “open” parking as well). The Village will not receive any revenue under the new plan, and will not provide any enforcement services.
