It’s clear to me that this has absolutely nothing to do with the need or not for additional parking spaces. This is all about a group of people, call them the Parking Lobby, who stand to gain financially and politically from having this monstrosity built. The Parking Lobby consist of lawyers, developers, unions, and the construction company. It’s nothing but classic NJ standard operating procedure where the public purse is under attack by opportunists. It’s not difficult to get away with as the majority of taxpayers remain oblivious to what goes on.
It’s funny how during the same month that the Ridgewood schools are promoting that students walk or bike to school, that the spectre of Garagezilla is raised once again. Folks, park a little further away from your destination and walk a bit. Do it for the kids.
8.19 is correct a good dining business has them lined up at bar pre seating revenue after a bit of a walk . If they wont walk 3 blocks you have lost them anyway to a drive up or valet joint
Might save you from the Big One
as you hit the deck regretting your
lazy ass drive up fat Up routines
Estimated cost now $9 million and counting, upward, of course.
