Readers suggest , The Ridgewood “parking problem” is all about laziness

The Ridgewood “parking problem” is all about laziness, where people want to find a space on a Friday night or Saturday right in the prime area of the CBD. Heaven forbid that they have to walk two blocks, or even 10 minutes from their actual house.

No garage required. The town has a wonderful design. The original design trumps the shop keepers. That’s what makes Ridgewood what it is, a charming quaintish historical architecture downtown. Some business will make it, some won’t.

By the way, what no one says is that there are many times in any mall and I am talkin WestField, Fashion Center, Paramus Park, when it is difficult to find an up close parking spot near your favorite store, and sometimes any parking spot. No one says that. So why shouldn’t it be crowded in tiny Ridgewood downtown.

I mean, hey, you walk the WHOLE downtown and I’ll tell you folks, it doesn’t count as an exercise walk to prevent heart disease and cancer , the heart organization and cancer society says is necessary for good health. I mean it is that tiny. So what the f..k.

Take a walk those who want a parking garage. Meaning Go Away!

Upon further review, there is no parking problem in Ridgewood. While parking in town can be occasionally inconvenient, there has never been a need for the 5 story structure that nearly got built.

Ridgewood NJ, it seems to meany readers that the previous administration worked long and hard to exacerbate the parking problem in the Central Business District . Claims of missing signs making it difficult for the public to find parking intentionally. Decisions made that always seemed to make things worse not better.

We ALL know that there is ample parking. Even Sonenfeld says so. “The problem is that PROMISES WERE MADE to certain key people that a garage would be built near their properties and businesses in the business district.” What Aronsohn, Saraceno, Pucciarelli, Vaggianos, Sonenfeld, Hauck and company failed to consider is that the town if full of very smart people. And the people rose up and ran a petition drive and stopped the insanity.

While others have claimed the signs went missing and lots hidden from public view on purpose .

Readers continually site , “The developers are deliberately going to exacerbate the parking problem with there one car per unit plans. Why should my taxes go to pay them to put in parking?”

And of coarse ,”it’s interesting that the existing apartments all have a shortage of parking and the developers keep insisting that there will only be one car per household in the proposed developments. how is this possible.”
