Ridgewood NJ, thanks to the residents who were proactive and the crew for getting it done. According the Village Manager Keith Kazmark , following resident requests, the Streets Division recently cleaned out the drainage ditch which runs parallel to the PSE&G right-of-way near Stevens Field. This will improve water flow during heavy rain events.

Kudos to Ridgewood Streets Division pothole crews
PJ,
Your editorial (“Sinking feeling is settling in,” March 13, page A6) prompted me to telephone the village’s 24-hour “pothole hotline” to report several very bone-jarring potholes on South Irving Street in the vicinity of Cedar Avenue and Arden Court.
Within one hour of placing the call, I observed a two-person crew from the village’s Streets Division working feverishly and skillfully to fill each of the potholes that I had reported.
Thanks are in order to the management and worker bees of the Streets Division for having moved so quickly and professionally to address a report of serious, and potentially hazardous, roadway impediments.
This is a fine example of how quickly the wheels of municipal government can turn if a customer focused action plan is developed, implemented, and assigned to knowledgeable and highly motivated employees.
