The first wave of new parking ordinances designed to help downtown Ridgewood was introduced at the Village Council’s public meeting on Feb. 11.
An ordinance establishing regulations for paying parking meters through a wireless cellular provider, as well as the fees associated with using cell phone technology, is scheduled for adoption on March 11.
The council also passed a resolution authorizing an agreement with Parkmobile USA for a pay-by-phone parking system to be installed in various locations across the village.
One resident, Diane Palacios, said she is very cautious with her credit card and would not feel comfortable using it in conjunction with Parkmobile, especially at the Route 17 Park & Ride, which she said she occasionally uses.
Palacios suggested that kiosks, which can accept both cash and credit cards, be installed at the Park & Ride instead of going completely wireless to alleviate concerns with seniors who may not be comfortable with using their cell phone to pay for parking.
