Ridgewood NJ, A noontime crash at the intersection of South Walnut Street and East Ridgewood Avenue created temporary gridlock conditions for holiday shoppers throughout Ridgewood’s Central Business District early Thursday afternoon. No injuries were reported, but Ridgewood firefighters were summoned to control a minor fluid spill in the intersection.
While there, firefighters also assisted in safely moving one of the crash vehicles (a commercial van) out of the intersection in order that a flatbed tow truck could attend to the other (a Mazda). Ridgewood PD personnel on the scene reported that one summons was issued in connection with the incident. A second tow truck was required to remove the commercial van from the scene.

Just wait till BIG AL THE DEVELOPERS FRIEND and his buddies get done with all the building in the CBD. These crashes and people get hit will be an everyday occurrence.
Now Boy Wounder has gotten the County involved in parking in Ridgewood. How many studies did we have? The County has been asked many time to fix and stripe county roads in Ridgewood but they never do. Now the Carpetbagger has call on his Dem friends to show us how to spend money and to justify taking care pf his supporters on the Chamber. Let bond 8 million for a parking garage and another 4 million for a new town garage in Glen Rock.
Two-for-one solution: move Valley to the CBD where it’s needed most.
I think that Valley needs to expand on the west side. The west side should benefit from all of this development too. Is the Council and PB going to write off a swath of the east side?
Don’t worry the Boy Wounder Mayor has brought the County into this and they will save the day for the Village. I wounder who’s name will be on the brass plaque when the build this new garage with taxpayers money?
