When this council get done we will all be Zucchini
Please update the photo, that’s not the mayor.
They are apparently rebuilding the water company from scratch instead of selling it. Does that mean that residents on the Eastside of Ridgewood might get something other then the horrible taste and smell of the Suez water we’re receiving? If not, then sell it instead of spending the millions you are bonding to replace what we have with something better? More efficient? Able to use Ridgewood water for sprinkling as many times as the neighborhood towns we are supplying? (maybe they are getting the good water instead of us? Glen Rock’s water is excellent.) It does seem that the entire council has turned into megalomaniacs and are being compelled to spend Ridgewood money on anything, whether or not it is really needed and could be solved in a cheaper way. They would have ben personally bankrupt years ago if they spent their personal money like they are spending Ridgewood”s!!
Please spend the money on reconstructing cottage Street parking lot. It hasn’t been repaved in so long it’s In disrepair. It needs to be reconstructed. And then go over to Walmart parking lot ,that is an out dated design.End it needs to be reconstructed repaved everything is very old. Thank you
Please pave Hillcrest rd asap.
Does anyone think that there will be a Village property tax reduction in their life time?
S. Frapz at 8:44 is correct, PJ. Need updated photo of council.
bond bond bond. spend spend spend.
Are you kidding they will never be a tax credit rebate in Ridgewood those days are over. Saw your house and move out
Get rid of healthbarn
The village may not have a property tax reduction in my lifetime, but I know I will!
Just think what Ridgewood world will be worth it when all the construction is done. Maybe close to 100000,000 million. We’ll see
Do something for your tax payers. If there is a business in their neighborhood that is making even ONE tax payer uncomfortable or in this case threatened by the owner it is up to the council to HELP that tax payer NOT the business!
