2) Vehicles displaying “unlimited parking – non-resident” hang tags – available for $1500 per calendar year to non-Ridgewood residents (non-Ridgewood residents may park all day only in the Cottage Place lot).
3) Vehicles displaying “unlimited parking – employee” hang tags – available for $80 per month (non-resident employees of Ridgewood businesses may park all day only at the Cottage Place municipal lot, or at the Ken Smith Motors lot).
Coincident with the introduction of the new hang tag offerings, time limits will be reduced to three (3) hours on all parking lot meters and the hourly rate will be changed.
I am wrong to think that some, not all, of the those who should be paying $1500 per year to park in the Cottage Place lot will try to find someone who can get them either a $750 per year resident tag, or an $80 per month employee tag?
What technology, if any, will be used to ensure that the Resident and Employee hang tags are actually being displayed on vehicles being used by those who were entitled to purchase the tags?
What a confusing mess. Could they make it any more complicated?
Agreed # 1. They keep changing . Some leadership.
Agree, It might even be a conundrum!!
Mike Sedon was on target with suggesting that the increase be to 4 hours, not 3 hours. It makes sense when you hear his explanation. But smooth Paulie boy just brushed right past him.
A little history on that BOE building and those parking lot spaces were in a lost plan to make that “old building” a commercial business entity with plenty of mid town parking.
Sometimes that old timer’s memory should be listened to. Oh well — I’ll keep reminding you all.
Get all those all day parkers away from Paulie the Greeks place and stick them down at the Cottage lot. I guess they don’t care about the stores at the lower end of Ridgewood ave.
Whats that got to do with the above topic? Do you really trust your memory old timer? That was then. This is now. Get it.
Get your 750 ready to hand over if your a later after 7 am ..train lots full parking comuter,compare that with
.25 cents x 12 per day..This solution if worse than the complaints that rendered this decision,
Get your 750 ready to hand over lump sum time..if your a later after 7 am .(.train lots full parking ) commuter,
compare that with current..soon to be doubled to
.25 cents per half hour..from current
.25 cents x 12 hours per day..This solution is worse than the complaints that rendered this decision,
