Ridgewood NJ, since 1927 Village moms and  dads have complained about inadequate parking in Ridgewood’s  central business district . In the late 1960’s parking meters were added to the CBD to pay for a future parking garage , the chance was misplaced . Plans were drawn up over and over  and finally after much debate in early September of 2019 the Village Council pushed forward with the Hudson Garage . Progress came quickly ,but in March of 2019 COVID19  struck , wiping out the demand for commuter spaces  . then restaurants were shut down leaving the Village with a great white parking garage elephant .
