Ridgewood NJ, from the Village of Ridgewood Mayor Susan Knudsen , Important link to information regarding modifications to Glenwood Rd (“S” Road – Glenwood Hill – HoHoKus Train crossing) traffic and pedestrian flow: https://www.ridgewoodnj.net/…/1440-glenwood-road-rr-crossing…
Currently the Village is hopeful to have the road remain open to one-way traffic with continued restrictions to vehicle size/weight. This remains a jurisdictional matter and Village efforts have been to avoid complete closure of this important connecting roadway. Importantly, as noted, “meritorious” objections received will warrant submission to the DOT’s Exception Committee to determine further action. Questions and/or objections concerning this matter should be directed to Barbara.Foran@dot.nj.gov. I would suggest copying on correspondence the following individuals: sknudsen@ridgewoodnj.net, hmailander@ridgewoodnj.net, and crutishauser@ridgewoodnj.net. Communications may also include support for the one-way compromise /solution.
As stated in DOT correspondence, Ridgewood will be required to adopt an ordinance to legally change Glenwood Road traffic to one-way; Village ordinances are subject to proper public notice and a public hearing. The ordinance introduction and public hearing will be added to a future Village Council agenda. To receive Village Council agendas and updates simply email sknudsen@ridgewoodnj.net and note “register” in the subject line.
Kindly share this information with concerned residents, friends and neighbors.
