>RHS Parking Ban : I question the legality of such a ban
Parking is now banned from September through June on almost every street within five blocks of RHS. I remember when this was not the case, and students & residents were free to park at will.
I question the legality of such a ban. The ban was enacted at the request of area residents who did not want vehicles and accompanying litter in front of their homes.
I don’t like vehicles and litter in front of my home either, but I don’t live anywhere near RHS. How come I’m not entitled to the same protection?
Parking is not banned on streets near Glen Rock High School; what makes Ridgewood any different?
If you recall, former Councilman and Mayor Patrick Mancuso lived near RHS. Didn’t he start the entire “no parking on my street” campaign?
I think it’s time for the Village Council to revisit the issue of parking on streets near RHS. Personally, I believe the existing ordinances are unconstitutional; banning parking on public streets for the convenience of wealthy residents, and the detriment of poorer students.
