An ordinance establishing fees for paying parking meters through cell phones was adopted unanimously by the Village Council on March 11 after a minor tweak was made to allow for a reduction on the transaction fee.
The new ordinance seemed set for passage as it was, but during the public hearing, a member of the audience noted the language contained in the new mandate could potentially mitigate any discounts that may be offered by ParkMobile.
At metered spots in the village, parkers will continue to pay 50 cents an hour and will have the choice to use quarters or ParkMobile. A 35-cent transaction fee is added for those using the new technology.
In places where meters will not be available, such as the Park & Ride on Route 17, commuters will be able to utilize ParkMobile, Ridgewood Parking Permits (RPP) or daily passes.
Boyd Loving, a South Irving Street resident, said the ordinance up for consideration would not allow for ParkMobile to reduce the transaction fee if they chose to do so in the future.

What, no comment from the conspiracy theory Luddites ?
the only luddites where the assholes and criminals that stuck and defended the out dated parking meters for the last 10 years so they could continue to steal
and none of them are in jail, not even the guy they caught with his hand in that quarters jar. Ridgewood has both a union thug, and “made-man” Tommy ‘Boy’ Rica small time mafia problem
So everyone but Boyd Loving was asleep at the switch? WTF?
They are asleep at the switch. They are busy reading texts and tweets on the dais. You can see the glow,of their phones and tablets reflected on their glasses and eyes.
