Ridgewood schools are already busting at the seams. Add the several hundred students who will arrive with the developments and several new schools will need to be built. Remember, the census of how many students live in the apartments was taken only at the high rise at Franklin and Maple. No count was ever taken in any of the garden apartments on Oak and on the other side of the tracks. Why wasn’t it taken in buildings that do accommodate children? One good thing could probably occur. There will be many fewer houses w/graduation and sale signs together. It would be much cheaper to rent one of our new apartments and just leave when their children graduate. That is what many of current apartment dwellers do when their last child graduates now.
Yes another 3 to 5 years there’s going to be problems, not just with schooling. Parking , Traffic, pollution, other different kind of problems, which I’m sure the police department love it and the fire department so they can hire more. Once all this housing is built park your car start walking.
And water and electricity.
So very true, what about water, waste water, what about sanitation, recycling, later, unwanted people, and I will be unwanted people so I refocus that just the way the cookie crumble‘s let’s not bullshit each other. The village as we know it is turning into a little city. At this time right now the village can’t handle the town because his understaffed. I guess they’re going to rehire.
