Ridgewood NJ, the pedestrian plaza was cancelled on Sunday due to inclement weather . This means all the streets in the Central Business District (CBD) are wide open.  Which brings up an interesting point of contention. Merchants were told once the pedestrian plaza was set up it was there for the weekend , rain or shine.
