PSE&G says paving and Village street restoration is expected to be completed in the spring of 2018

road work Ridgewood police

August 10,2017

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, for months now there have been constant complaints about Village streets and their poor surface conditions . Long term readers of the this blog will remember that for several years there seems to be almost constant complaints about the roads. Unfortunately for the Village as long as PSE&G continues in their gas line up grade program ,there is really no end in sight for poor road conditions .

Beginning in June, work was expected to take place Monday through Saturday between the hours of 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., weather permitting. The gas main replacement portion of the work is expected to be completed by the fall. The paving and street restoration is expected to be completed in the spring of 2018.  Folks it is what it is !

According to PSE&G :

• To upgrade the gas lines, PSE&G digs trenches, primarily in road surfaces, and lays new pipes block by block to minimize disruptions. There will be short-term road closures and detours during construction. Local police direct vehicle and pedestrian traffic. At the end of each workday, the trenches are filled in and protective plates secured on any open areas so people can safely drive and walk. Customers always have access to their driveways.

• When possible, the utility does not dig on properties. If PSE&G does have to dig on a customer’s property, the utility restores any disturbance after the service line is installed. Grass areas are repaired and seeded, and concrete or asphalt openings are patched until final restoration work is scheduled.

• After construction, a PSE&G technician needs to access the customer’s home to connect the service line and gas meter to the new gas main. The utility contacts homeowners to arrange a date and time to do the work. During this reconnection, customers can expect to be without gas service for about 4 hours.

• If a gas meter is inside, PSE&G relocates it to the outside of the customer’s home or business. A technician relights all appliances and makes sure they are working safely before leaving a home.

• When work is finished, the utility repairs roads with temporary pavement until the ground settles. This takes about 45 to 90 days. PSE&G then restores the roads with permanent paving in accordance with town ordinance and paving requirements.

The engineering department is moving slow with regarding repaving of the worst roads in the village, they should be paving the worst roads in the village first. It is mid July what is going on. The paving contractor should be paving every single day during the summer , How come they can’t figure this out, what are you gonna start doing paving in September when school opens. I just don’t get it

Current Road asphalt conditions are horrendous. The VC ignoring this fact for years while the PSEG  TUNNEL diggers are tearing up the main roads.

For Pipe and Utility upgrades .will get much worse folks.Cars tires suspensions will continue to take a beating .its not like we can take an alternate route to and from town.Means lost business store owners .

Tire car repair alignment shops will continue to rake it in.Visitors know the Town is in downslide,Parking violations officers just hammer the visitors anyway to ensure they know better than to come again next week to shop or dine.is ass backwards to think visitors are fools.Glen Rock and the malls have 3 hours free honor based parking .I get haircuts there every month and I am sure to visit other stores like drugstores there when free parked.

10 MORE Commandments for driving in New Jersey (as chosen by you!)

Vehicle slides off the roadway into Goffle Brook Pond in Hawthorne

Only in New Jersey. You would think listing the 10 Commandments for the rules of the road here in the Garden State would be enough, right?  Yeah, not so much.

There’s so much craziness on NJ’s roads that we came up with a second  list of 10 Commandments for all the people who wrote in and commented on Facebook, Twitter or on our website with some fantastic suggestions. From the left lane laggers to the drivers who think their turn signals were optional equipment on their car, we have heard your cries for sanity on the roads and we are posting them for all to read and (hopefully) adhere to.

NJ LAWMAKERS WRANGLE OVER WHO DECIDES HOW TTF BILLIONS WILL BE SPENT

road work Ridgewood police

JOHN REITMEYER | APRIL 13, 2017

Senate President rejects Republican senator’s claim that new commission could politicize how projects are selected

Senate President Stephen Sweeney speaks during a news conference in Linden yesterday to announce state funding for a long-planned road project.

After last year’s renewal of the Transportation Trust Fund, there’s now $2 billion in state dollars to spend on infrastructure improvements every year in New Jersey. But that has also raised the question of exactly who decides which projects deserve top priority — the governor and his administration’s transportation officials or a special four-person commission that’s been championed by lawmakers?

A measure that’s expected to make it out of the Legislature in the coming weeks will ensure the new capital-project approval commission has the final say, though not until a year from now.

The passage of what’s being called the “TTF cleanup bill” will also make sure that a planned $2 billion in spending on infrastructure improvements during the state fiscal year that begins in early July can go forward even though the new commission has yet to be assembled.

And despite complaints from some lawmakers that the new commission could politicize New Jersey’s transportation-funding process and even be unconstitutional, Senate President Stephen Sweeney (D-Gloucester) said he remains committed to establishing the new format. He also disputed claims that the new selection method could be unconstitutional.

PSE&G to paving in Ridgewood

Road_work_theridgewoodblog
March 30,2017

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, After PSE&G upgrades the gas lines in your neighborhood, we first wait for the ground to settle and then return to restore roads with permanent paving in accordance with each town’s ordinance and paving requirements. Our goal is to complete this work with minimal impact to customers. Police will be directing traffic, and residents will be able to drive on the roads once paving is complete. You will have access to your driveway throughout the work.

If you have any questions about the restoration process, you may call and leave a voicemail (Oakland Gas District 201-337-2519)

We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to complete these important upgrades to your gas service – ensuring the safety and reliability of your gas service now, and for many years to come.

The streets below are scheduled to be paved, with an approximate start date of March 28th and completion date of April 4th. Please remember that this work is weather dependent and the schedule may be adjusted if necessary.

Reader Writes , Our roads are a shambles in Ridgewood

Road work theridgewoodblog.net

Ms.Mailander

Good luck with a very difficult Position.

Our roads are a shambles,beyond the winter frost freeze and expanding pothole excuses …; the ongoing maintenance and milling of our main and secondary roadways are completely inadequate.meanwhile we are looking at tearing up the safety median at the train station raceway.Incredible..

Utility companies cut and run while highly paid village police offices yes on pseg perdiem and we pay their benefits and pensions while they stand by texting and witness the crime.North Pleasant Fairway and so many other main streets are like a war zone on our cars ,runners and bicyclist.

No real solutions offered outside of its on a list..ill tell my car repair guy so that he can plan to hire many more repair folks for Tires,Suspensions Shocks ,underbody and other serious car damage invoicing to Vor taxpayers.Its simply unacceptable .town in a serious downward spiral .

Report Gives New Jersey D-Plus For Infrastructure

Filed Under: American Society of Civil Engineers’ National Report Card, Meg Baker, New Jersey Infrastructure

FAIR LAWN, N.J. (CBSNewYork) — There is still a huge funding gap for infrastructure nationally and locally – and commuters in New Jersey have a share of complaints in particular.

As CBS2’s Meg Baker reported, many agree that the Garden State’s roads, bridges and transit system are in bad shape.

“It’s been long overdue that we need some repairs. The roads are just horrible,” said John Glita of Fair Lawn.

That is why many people were not surprised to hear that New Jersey gets a D-plus for infrastructure. The nearly failing grade is based on the 2017 American Society of Civil Engineers’ National Report Card.
