THE RIDGEWOOD VILLAGE COUNCIL PUBLIC WORKSHOP AGENDA FEBRUARY 22, 2023 7:30 P.M. Schedler Property Update

Save Our Schedler Members & Friends at the Schedler House

the staff of the Ridgewood blog

Ridgewood NJ, Ridgewood’s Historic Schedler Property is unique and unlike any other Village Parcel. This historical Revolutionary War site is a full ecosystem of wildlife and vegetation (protected, state-threatened and endangered). Additionally, located along Route 17 North (a major transportation corridor), the tree/green-filled parcel filters out light, noise, visual, airborne particulates, gaseous pollutants, and air toxins emitted by diesel trucks and cars.

The new Village Council moved to replace the Schedler Park plan (approved by Resolution 18-236), adding a full-sized regulation turf field. The approved plan, now in jeopardy, balanced the needs of the impacted neighborhood, sports groups, conservationists, historians, and taxpayers and included a 75×50 multi-use field. With required oversight from the State of NJ Historic Preservation, the plan was moving forward with expected completion by late spring 2023.

To Our Community: 

Please sign the petition to implement the adopted Schedler Park plan. 

At a recent meeting, the new Village Council moved to replace the Schedler Park plan (approved by Resolution 18-236), adding a full-sized regulation turf field. The approved plan, now in jeopardy, balanced the needs of the impacted neighborhood, sports groups, conservationists, historians, and taxpayers and included a 75×50 multi-use field.

Saddle River NJ, Robert Re of Saddle River passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family, on Wednesday, February 15, 2023.  Born on March 28, 1931 in Floral Park, NY, his family moved to Waldwick in 1937 and Saddle River in 1946, where he became a life-long resident.  In 1948, he graduated from Saint Luke’s High School where he was the captain of the baseball team and sports editor for the school newspaper.  After high school, he attended Farleigh Dickinson University and played minor league baseball for the New York Giants until joining the Marine Corps.   He served on the front lines during the Korean conflict until he was called up to play second base in the Marine Corps Baseball Leagues.  Afterwards, he returned to Saddle River and met the love of his life, Sylvia.  They married, raised four daughters, and spent 68 years together.  He later resumed his education and graduated from Rutgers University and is also a graduate of the FBI National Academy in Quantico, VA.  As a parishioner of Saint Gabriel’s Catholic Church and a member of the Knights of Columbus, he believed in service to others and devotion to family.  He was an amazing listener, storyteller, and the king of silly jokes, but most of all he was the most loving and patient husband, father, grandfather, great grandfather, brother, and uncle.
