Ridgewood NJ, the Ridgewood blog has heard from Village commuters that the tunnel under the train tracks is absolutely fine. It is well lit, and it is functional. There’s an area or two that needs a little shoring up, and it needs some power washing, and a coat of fresh paint. Somehow this is turning in to a $1 million price tag, followed by another $1 million price tag by Jeannie Johnson and her pie-in-the-sky plans for mosaics and murals. $2 million for a tunnel that people just walk through on their way to catch the train, or on their way to get home after work. Fiscal responsibility ? We think not!

Ridgewood NJ, we have learned that there will be a ticket crack down on any cars dropping off or picking up passengers via cars idling or blocking the pedestrian crosswalk in front of the Ridgewood Train Station mornings and late afternoon and evenings.
Perhaps completing the car turn away or before the drop off area away from the pedestrian white striped Crossing line grid. When the lot is full mid-Day – this might create a catch 22 situation as drivers might ask exactly where is the authorized passenger drop off area ( without car idling)
