Re: “How is it that Glen Rock has free on-street parking and free parking for 3 hours in the shoppers’ parking lot, while Ridgewood now wants to increase the price of parking yet again?”

Because Glen Rock is a great town.

I hate paying for parking too but your argument is way off. Glen Rock has free parking because they have like 20 stores and 3 restaurants. Not to mention half the population of Ridgewood, oh and 2 train station parking lots that are each larger than Ridgewood’s. Go ahead and save a couple of dollars in parking by moving to Glen Rock and paying property taxes that are 11% higher than Ridgewood’s.
I live in a neighboring town and often come to Ridgewood for dinner and shopping. The parking is always a problem but we never really mind walking a little further to get to the restaurant or store we are going to as it gives us a chance to window shop and smell the variety of foods being prepared so we can pick the next restaurant we try. I do not mind feeding a meter, but I am annoyed and offended that some of the more expensive restaurants are taking up public street parking for their Valet service. Must I eat at Roots ? Why not save some prime spots for Wild Ginger? Now I hear the town is implementing a large scale valet service for a fee. I personally like walking up and down Ridgewood Avenue. For me, the draw of your town is to have that open air experience which increases your appetite before you dine and helps you digest the sweet dessert you just consumed. Never mind that walking is GOOD FOR YOUR HEALTH! I foresee Valet drivers rushing back and forth to park cars which poses its own danger. I think street and other public parking should be readily available for all those who intend on spending their hard earned money in your town.
Glenrock is such a nice town

Bravo 11:11. Nice to hear logic. Many many Ridgewood residents would agree with every word.
12:16 agree perhaps the spaceships have left and common citizens speaking up to move us closer to a safe logical solution based future
No large raised parking monolith needed. Thats the end ..not the begining of a clearer path forward
