Ridgewood Central Business Merchants Need to Step Up

clock

the staff of the Ridgewood blog 

Ridgewood Nj, according to Northjersey.com , some Ridgewood merchants did not even know about the “free parking” on Saturdays . 

Sorry folks but it is amazing how uninformed the public is about what is going on in the Village, the county and the state . 

The “free” Saturday parking was emailed twice by the Village ,appeared on the chamber of Commerce site and was on this blog a number of times as well as all over Facebook and other social media sites. 

I want to remind Central Business District Merchants that tax payers are building you a parking garage at great cost ,where you are the prime beneficiaries  . 

While many options were tired to improve parking , most of the Village merchants did not appear to lift one finger to participate in any of those efforts , including utilizing the employee parking spaces.
