RIDGEWOOD — The village will be getting some much-needed parking along North Walnut Street under the terms outlined in a 42-page bid soliciting potential developers for the downtown’s redevelopment zone.
A new Request for Proposal and Qualifications, or RFP, has been issued by Ridgewood officials and seeks the redevelopment of 10 properties the heart of the Central Business District.
The 2.07 acres — some of it municipally owned — was designated a “redevelopment zone” by officials in 2007, which permits mostly retail and restaurant uses.
The redevelopment zone — currently the site of an ice cream shop, an 89-space parking lot, a mechanic’s shop, restaurants and retail stores — further allows for residential developments and is already being considered by at least one developer for a future assisted-living facility for seniors.
The RFP states that all proposals and plans from interested developers must be submitted by December and must include some manner of parking garage.
While an issue for decades, the village’s lack of parking has become an increasing concern for businesses and residents.

What is holding up these suggestions.
We are still stuck in neutral but, the engine is not running.
RIdgewood developers would add parking AND a block long 65 foot high building along with the parking.
“65 feet” will become the new battle cry for all property owners in the CBD – every one of them will use 65 feet as justification for building larger buildings on their respective properties.
A quaint Village will become an ugly city virtually overnight.
This anonymous blogger thinks we should stop the insanity now.
The anonymous blogger keeps painting himself into a corner with no place to go……. same old “do nothing” … keep talking, do nothing etc, etc.
Dom you still must be confused. Get all the facts like #2 before you post ‘RIdgewood developers would add parking AND a block long 65 foot high building along with the parking.” GET IT DOM.
