Ridgewood NJ, For the second time within 12 months, a falling tree damaged a vehicle parked in a private lot owned by the First Presbyterian Church of Ridgewood that is used by many Ridgewood High School students.

Ridgewood Police Patrol Officer Jeffrey Kay responded to take a property damage report and coordinate the removal of vehicles from the lot to facilitate removal of the downed tree. No injuries were reported. A fence was also a victim of the calamity, which occurred on Monday morning,

can someone explain to me how Project Graduation is raffling off a parking space on Heermance Place to a student for the next school year??? I am crazy or is that a public street?? I know that the public was booted in favor of “teacher only parking” but now they are raffling off a spot to a student to raise money for a party when I, a taxpayer, cannot park there??? HUH??? Something just smells here.

We have not been able to confirm or deny the “parking space ” raffle , here are other events and information we have confirmed on the BOE website for Project Graduation .

Students air plan for extra parking at Ridgewood High

RIDGEWOOD — When someone claims to have an idea for more parking in the village, the council tends to listen.

Last week, Ridgewood’s governing body was all ears when three students proposed utilizing a PSE&G right of way next to the high school for the creation of 75 to 100 parking spots.

The students — two current Ridgewood High School students and one recent graduate — said the right of way could be accessed via North Irving Street near Stephens Field and that cars could exit onto East Ridgewood Avenue.

The spots would mostly be used during the school year by the students, but could also be used during sporting events at the high school and at Stephens Field.

At present, the students said most of the parking available at the high school is taken up all day by students, leaving no room for visitors to park.
