Injured in a parking lot, what to do?

parking CBD

Accidents can occur even in the most desolated places; but the management and the maintenance of these places are still under someone else’s responsibilities. If you own a public place or a property, no matter if you are on the spot or far from the scene, you have legal duties to prevent harm to your visitors. It is likely to encounter unfavourable situations in an unmaintained property. To avoid business expenses, many business owners hesitate to put money on the necessary equipment. Insufficiently illuminated business places –in this scenario, the parking lot-, can easily lead to accidents due to lack of vision.

Looks good but did Parks & rec add much needing lighting to the parking lot? After all Habernickle Park has had lights in the parking lot for 3 years. This field gets used a lot past dusk and could benefit from lights after all Tim said ALL Parks will be getting parking lot lights So either take them down at Habernickle or put them up at ALL Parks!!!!! Let’s face it our kids safety is way more important then the business at the gatehouse in Habernickle Park.

This is the Hudson Street lot at 9:20 Friday morning in Ridgewood

Ridgewood NJ, This is the Hudson Street lot at 9:20 Friday morning. I do not know how many Village Council meetings I have attended at which members of the Chamber of Commerce stated that this lot is filled to capacity first thing in the morning every morning with commuters and restaurant workers. My crummy little camera does not show the scope of how empty the lot was. Please vote NO on June 21. We might (operative word is “might”) need a small increase in parking, but we certainly do not need the gigantic garage that Aronsohn, Roberta, Hauck and Pucciarelli are continuing to promote in the waning days of their time in “power.”

Ridgewood High School was not portrayed in the best light in the stands or in the parking lot at MetLife Stadium

High School Problems

Dear Parents/Guardians and Students:

We were excited that our football team made it to the final round of competition at Met Life Stadium on December 5.  It was great to see so many people from our community support our team, band, and cheerleaders for this final event.  The high school even ran student fan buses for close to 90 students.  Although the final score did not go our way, we are extremely proud of our coaches and players.

Unfortunately, despite previous warnings and pleas for assistance, Ridgewood High School was not portrayed in the best light in the stands or in the parking lot.  Administrators and faculty members spent much of the game dealing with students that were under the influence and/or involved in disruptive behavior.  In addition, the parking lot in the Ridgewood section was left in a very poor state with trash and broken bottles.

As we move forward, we hope this event will be a learning experience for all.  The incidents referenced above are not unique to this one weekend and come on the heels of the most recent issues at RHS regarding students and postings on social media sites, i.e., Yik Yak, Finstagram, Instagram, etc.  Many of these negative behaviors we have been experiencing are illegal, disruptive, and/or dangerous.  These incidents give us a chance to pause, reflect, and engage in meaningful discussions about character and decision-making.  We do not want to have these conversations after a tragic or permanently harmful event occurs.

Students, parents, and educators are continually being challenged to set limits in children’s lives that effectively support growth and healthy behavior.  Although initially frustrated, children thrive and are grateful in the long run when parents and educators set parameters and limits.  These concerns are not unique to Ridgewood but must be shared as a community.

At RHS, we will continue to have educational discussions with our students about the effects of drugs and alcohol; assist in the emotional, psychological, and physical development of our teenagers; and teach about character and decision-making through class lessons, athletics, and the arts.

In the weeks and months to come, we will be engaging in conversations with students and parents throughout the community.  We encourage you to do the same.  If you have any suggestions or feedback you wish to share, please reach out to any teacher, coach, or administrator as we work on determining the best course of action to help our youth reach their fullest potential.

Sincerely,

Thomas A. Gorman, Ed.D.

Gruesome Halloween eve discovery – man found dead in parking lot
October 31,2014
Boyd A. Loving

Ridgewood NJ, A Linwood Avenue resident was found dead in the parking lot of a local shopping center on Halloween night, less than 45 minutes after being reported missing by his frantic wife.

After the man didn’t arrive home from work on time, his wife called the security office of his Mahwah based employer.  When she was told that there was no trace of him in either his office or the company parking lot, she called Ridgewood PD.

Acting on location information supplied by the man’s cell phone carrier, Ridgewood police officers searched a several square block area beginning at around 9:30 PM and located the man’s 2002 Nissan Sentra parked in front of Kings Supermarket on North Maple Avenue.

Responding officers found the man unresponsive inside the vehicle.  He was pronounced dead shortly after 10:00 PM by Dr. Robert Lahita, MD, Medical Director, Ridgewood Emergency Services.

Bergen County PD and the Bergen County Medical Examiner’s Office assisted with Friday night’s investigation.  The man’s vehicle was impounded as evidence for further examination; it was removed by a flatbed tow truck.  His body was taken to the Bergen County Medical Examiner’s Office for autopsy.

On Saturday, the Medical Examiner’s office issued a preliminary report – the victim died of natural causes.  When she called Ridgewood PD, the victim’s wife advised them that her husband’s only known medical problem was high blood pressure.

As a side note, the family’s permanent home in Ridgewood was heavily damaged by fire in June of this year.  They were living temporarily in a rental house on Linwood Avenue.

Expansion of Ridgewood nursing home parking lot approved

The Ridgewood News

The Ridgewood zoning board has granted approval for a parking lot expansion at Van Dyk Health Care which, according to the applicant’s testimony, is not accompanied by a plan to expand the facility.

The nursing home facility on South Van Dien Avenue is also planning other changes, including the merger of two lots and the installation of new walkways, new lighting, a new storm water management system and a new stationary electric generator.

Richard Wostbrock, a representative of the architectural firm LAN Associates, said the expansion aims to increase parking spaces to bring the facility closer to satisfying Ridgewood’s parking ordinance requirements and lessen street parking.

The Town Garage, 120 Franklin Avenue; the eye of the storm . . .

>Town%20Garage
The current hot discussion topic among those who monitor Village Hall happenings is how an out of town firm was able purchase the Town Garage property from right out under the noses of Village Council members. Village ownership of the subject property (see posted photo) is seen as key to the successful construction of a municipal parking garage.

Reportedly, Village officials had offered previous owner Richard Agnello more than the $1.265 million sale price. However, it is being reported that Mr. Agnello refused to sell until the Village found a suitable location nearby for him to relocate his motor vehicle repair facility.

So the fly would like to know: 1) How was the Wells partnership able to buy the property for less than what Village officials had offered Mr. Agnello? 2) Will Mr. Agnello be closing up shop, or has the Wells partnership found a location for him to move his operation to? And, 3) What prompted the Wells partnership to purchase a piece of property destined for involvement in eminent domain proceedings?
