If all of that can be worked out, entrance only from N. Irving and exit and right turn only onto E. Ridgewood Ave with a cleaned up and heavily landscaped buffer between the neighbors would go along way to alleviating the parking issues that the students at RHS face and the parking issues the neighbors face anytime there is a sporting event at RHS or Stevens. But, as I said it makes way too much sense for it to happen. Most likely the Village Council will probably want to build a multi-use parking garage on the site and bog the whole thing down for another 20 years.
Reader says been there done that …Lets spend more taxpayers money to beautify this dirt road so the little beauties can bring their parents BMW’s to school. More traffic but less danger. Sound like a page out of Valley Hospital play book. Oh let not forget more parking for all those sports people. Maybe the BOED should get together with our Council and build a parking garage at Ridgewood High School. The high school could fit a multi deck in their lot. Don’t forget its not just plating shrubs. Driveway aprons. guard rails for safety so no one drives into the brook or ditch, signs and what ever else has to be done for safety.
Why not forget the whole thing?
Using that dirt road for student parking is not a new idea. We had that idea back in the late 70’s early 80’s when I was in RHS and I bet every class since then did too. I highly doubt it will ever change and open it up for parking.
But those kids were so proud of their PowerPoint printouts, taking turns at the podium every two sentences.
Bring back the road of yesterday the trolleys were able to survive the trip.
maybe they could raise the football field and put it on top of a 3 story parking garage in place of the current football field…solves 2 problems: 1) more parking, 2) no more flooding of the field
PARK AT VETS!
it is safe and it is already there. No eminent domain, no lawsuits.
Mayor is just looking for more votes.
#7 spot on
Valet parking is the solution!
