West Glen Safety Issues Cause Concern for Delayed PSE&G Paving in Ridgewood

PSEG

file photo by Boyd Loving

December 3,2016

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, As previously reported the PSEG planned final paving of W. Glen Ave will be delayed until the Spring due to the late completion of the project and curbing required by Bergen County. W. Glen Ave is a county road and for that reason their regulations must be followed.

A reader pointed out that, “There is no reason why they can’t start the curbing now and finish the paving. If not, then PSE&G should be required to make W Glen safe for the winter by temporarily repaving where necessary. Not only will the Village not be unable to plow the street properly when it snows, it is literally tearing cars apart on daily commutes. Can someone post the address of PSE&G so we may send our car repair bills to them for reimbursement!”

N.J. Supreme Court may ramp up affordable-housing requirements

CBD high density housing

Salvador Rizzo , State House Bureau, @rizzoTK6:19 p.m. EST December 1, 2016

During a tense hearing Wednesday, the state Supreme Court appeared ready to reject an argument by several towns seeking to tamp down their affordable-housing obligations.

In a series of landmark rulings dating to the 1970s, the Supreme Court said that New Jersey’s low- and moderate-income residents have a right to affordable homes in their communities, and that towns must allow their development.

Reader says Ridgewood League of Women Voters has been turned into mouthpiece for Paul Aronsohn

3 amigos

Anne is making some serious mistakes and she’s been brainwashed by her blond “friend”. You know, the one who does alllll the bidding for the dark side and causes massive trouble no matter what organization she’s involved with…? Name drops at every turn and isn’t actually suave enough to DO anything herself.
Well, Anne has managed to take the league of women voters and turn it in to a mouthpiece for Paul in a matter of the less than half a year she’s been in control. Bye bye Anne.

Ridgewood Footbball : Tailgating banned at high school football title games, NJSIAA warns

Met life stadium theridgewoodblog.net 1

Group 5 – Passaic Tech vs. Ridgewood

By Jeff Goldman | NJ Advance Media for NJ.com
on November 29, 2016 at 8:15 AM, updated November 29, 2016 at 10:05 AM

ROBBINSVILLE — Don’t even think about tailgating at any of the 23 high school football sectional finals that will be played this weekend around New Jersey.

The New Jersey State Interstate Athletic Association issued a ban on parking lot festivities at the four sites hosting championship games Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

In a statement issued Monday reminding fans that its events are drug and alcohol free, the governing body for high school sports in the state also said, “tailgating is strictly prohibited.”

“When you attend an NFL or Big Ten football game, for example, the entire environment is dedicated to fan entertainment,” NJSIAA Executive Director Steve Timko said in a statement. “But high school sports are different — even a state championship football game contested at Met Life Stadium is an extension of the classroom. And you don’t allow alcohol, drugs or tailgating at school.”

HoHoKus PD had received multiple 911 calls from train passengers who saw the dog wandering the tracks and dispatched two (2) patrol units to the area to recover it. The dog was wearing a collar with a tag bearing the cell phone number of its owner.

November 29,2016

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, New Jersey State Senator Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg has released her 2016 Women’s Power List, an annual compilation of the most powerful and influential women in New Jersey.  Valley Health System is proud to announce that Audrey Meyers, President and CEO of The Valley Hospital and Valley Health System, has been named to this prestigious list for the second consecutive year.

Stated Senator Weinberg, “A big thank you to all the strong and successful women in Trenton and around the state — far too many to name — who continue to add cracks to the glass ceiling, and who I know will contribute to the effort to finally shatter it.”

“I congratulate all the women named to Senator Weinberg’s Power list, and am proud to be included among them,” said Meyers.
