Ridgewood receives feedback on parking changes

In a Jan. 9 letter to The Ridgewood News, Valerie Groom, owner of Ridgewood’s European Day Spa, addressed the impact of recent parking changes on the Central Business District’s (CBD) part-time employees.

She said that Ridgewood has “missed the mark.”

“I see all sides of this having been a resident of Ridgewood for 30-plus years and a merchant for 26 years. Unless the intention of the village is to penalize and ticket the workers that staff our businesses, I’m going to call the changes another failure to meet the needs of downtown Ridgewood,” she concluded.

Her letter was in response to sweeping new parking changes that went into effect in the new year, as a result of a unanimous council vote.

All 12-hour meters in the lots were recalibrated to three-hour meters, in effect from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and the cost was doubled, from one to two quarters an hour.

The intent is to open up spots for shoppers that were previously taken up by employees and commuters (whose parking has also been somewhat reformed, and prices increased).

This has been accomplished: In the past few weeks, spots have been available the North Walnut and Hudson lots, which used to be crowded by 9 a.m.

Ridgewood parking changes aimed at opening up more spots

Ridgewood’s not taking its New Year’s parking resolutions lightly.

Come Jan. 1, new changes are officially going into effect.

Every 12-hour meter in the downtown lots, with the exception of the train station lot, will be recalibrated to a three-hour time limit from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday. The new rate for the lots will be 50 cents an hour, not 25 cents. Also, repeat parking in the same space will be even more strictly enforced than it is now (meaning, more tickets).

The goal?

To open up parking spaces for shoppers.

A special half-hour public meeting was held on Monday night to enact the final changes.

According to Village Manager Roberta Sonenfeld, the official recalibration of the meters will be done around Jan. 2 and 3.

After this point, she said, all meters in downtown Ridgewood will be three-hour meters, with two exceptions: 15-minute meters and meters in the train station’s Station Plaza lot, which will remain 12-hour meters.
