Ridgewood NJ, With its close proximity to Ridgewood Hjigh School circle avenue was never plowed. It’s barely passable. The high school students are parked by the nursery school and essentially render that street one way. Some park their cars so close to Ridgewood ave that the tails of the car is sticking IN to RW ave. which also makes that turn ON to circle impossible.
Additionally, parents walking from all the way down the block to drop kids at this school-because heres no parking due to the students, are having to traverse some of the most poorly shoveled or deiced sidewalks I’ve seen. I saw a mother fall while holding her young daughter. She smacked her head in someone’s rock wall.
This street NEEDS to be addressed immediately. And the sidewalks that are so totally ice and snow covered, have got to have some code enforcement.
Sounds like the folks there are getting the runaround.
And yet a council member lives there. If it were a different council member, the results might be different.
I didn’t even think about it but, yes, Susan Knudsen does live on Circle and it was horrible this morning particularly around her house. I noticed the same at the corner of John and Wyndenmere where Lorraine Reynolds lives and I thought it might be payback as that section of John/Wyndenmere was worse than the rest of John and Wyndenmere (which were not good to begin with).
But would the contract and village plowers really know where these folks live? I have to think not, that this is just a coincidence. But it is odd. I live in the neighborhood and my street was nicely plowed.
Those preschool parents have drive through drop off. They block Van Dien every morning waiting for their turn for car serfice.
They may have hazards walking but they cause road hazards for the rest.
Hows Cottage St. look. ? After all he has a day job.
Cottage was horrible yesterday. Melted today with all the cut through but no special service there for sure.
