Glen Rock NJ, A 164 pound male, black bear was captured in the rear yard of 545 Doremus Avenue, Glen Rock, on Sunday afternoon, 05/20. NJDEP Fish & Wildlife Division employees were assisted by Glen Rock PD and Tyco Animal Control Services. No injuries were reported during the capture. The bear had been perched in a tree for several hours following a chase by Glen Rock Police officers after it was initially spotted walking along Lincoln Avenue, Glen Rock. The bear was lured into the NJDEP owned trap by a bag of donuts and some molasses. He was tranquilized prior to being tagged, tattooed, and loaded into a pickup truck for transport to a NJDEP managed forest area.
Glen Rock Police thanked TYCO and the New Jersey Division of Fish and Wildlife, “the bear that was found in a tree in the rear yard of a Doremus Avenue residence today was tranquilized and transported to a safe environment in Western New Jersey.”
Ridgewood Deputy Mayor Mike Sedon was not available for comment .

HUDSON STREET LOT CLOSED FOR TESTING – SUNDAY, JUNE 7TH
To learn more about the ground conditions at the Hudson Street Lot the Village will be doing some testing. This is in preparation for the potential construction of a new parking facility. The testing will take place this Sunday, June 7th.
A consultant working for the Village will be performing ground penetrating radar (gpr) survey of the Hudson Street parking lot. To do this survey the lot needs to be free of cars to be effective.
The Hudson Street Lot will be closed at midnight Saturday, June 6 with several barricades to deny access. The lot will be reopened at 2:00 pm on Sunday, June 7. No cars will be permitted to park in the lot during that time period. Vehicle access to the rear of the properties on East Ridgewood Avenue through the lot will be maintained. Emergency access through the lot will be maintained.
The gpr equipment is small, makes no noise and does not take up much room.
Please share this information on the short term closing of this lot with friends and neighbors.
