Ridgewood NJ, Village Council members have unanimously approved the installation of a prefabricated shelter at a current westbound NJ Transit bus stop serving RHS students (E. Ridgewood Ave. near the RHS tennis courts). The shelter will be similar in design to the one now in place on N. Monroe St, near W. Glen Ave. (see photos). Village Manager Keith Kazmark reported that the installation, on RHS property, has been approved by the Board of Education.
