Ridgewood NJ , during Wednesday nights council meeting councilman Evan Weitz smugly chimed in on the virtues of the Village “Engineer” Chris Rutishauser , claiming he had toured the Schedler House and was not impressed.

Ridgewood NJ, Wednesday nights council meeting agenda includes a resolution to approve a plan for Schedler Park following a very contentious work session in which Village Engineer Chris Rutishauser presented three options to the governing body. Each plan had a slightly different orientation of a full-size athletic field, which historic preservation consultant Peter Primavera advised waiting to approve until he had a chance to review the history and responses to prior requests from the state.

Ridgewood NJ, PSE&G representatives agreed to reschedule work on North and South Broad Street to begin in January after meeting Village officials Monday.
While is was well known that the previous Mayor Paul Aronsohn had issues with PSE&G Mayor Knudsen moved quickly to resolve the situation putting old issues to rest.
Village officials including the Mayor Susan Knudsen and Village Engineer Chris Rutishauser met this morning with David Hollenbeck, PSE&G regional public affairs manager, who along with other representatives from the utility agreed to implement a work-around schedule pushing the start date to on or about January 9, 2017, avoiding a critical fourth quarter impact on businesses in that area.
The rescheduling resulted from a cooperative effort to resolve the issue of work previously scheduled to begin Sept. 26, in the Village’s historic business district.
“The meeting was cordial and professional,” Knudsen said. “PSE&G officials appreciated the vulnerabilities of our small businesses, especially during the fourth-quarter holiday retail season. They responded and we’re most appreciative.”
The Village Council, recognizing the serious nature of the work in upgrading utility infrastructure, expressed gratitude to PSE&G for working collaboratively with Village officials. The Village Engineer is already began planning to ensure both the Village and PSE&G are prepared for the January start date.
