Reader mad about PSE&G wait till Valley Gets its Way
PSE&G cut their deal years ago and don’t need anyone’s permission to put these poles up. OK, some residents raised objections, the Mayor paid some lip service and there was a meeting or two. In the end, however, PSE&G never needed our permission to put their poles up.
Now consider Valley Hospital and the developers that want to build their apartments. All they need is an amendment to our Master Plan which our Planning Board and Council seem very willing to grant. Once the Master Plan is changed and Valley wants to go to 200 feet or the developers want to build 1,000 unit apartments, there won’t be any hearings or public comment because they won’t need anyone’s permission.
Mrs. Hauck are you paying attention? Be careful what you wish for.
This is in fact Ridgewood’s major moment. Make it or break it forever, Planning Board, and live with the consequences. Because we all will.
