THE RECORD
RIDGEWOOD — The village has received seven proposals from four developers who are all interested in redeveloping a 2.07-acre portion of Ridgewood’s downtown.
The proposals are being considered as the Planning Board continues hearing testimony on a master plan amendment sought by three developers who want to build high density, multifamily housing complexes downtown.
Officials said the seven plans, which were opened last week, include provisions for much-needed parking. The parcels to be redeveloped are at the corner of Franklin Avenue and North Walnut Street.
Most of the proposals would augment the amount of available housing and retail space in downtown Ridgewood, said Village Manager Roberta Sonenfeld. However, she would not provide specific details or costs “relative to the plans,” claiming in an email that doing so could “impact our future negotiations” with the four developers.

why are they accepting any proposals at all ? Repeal ordinance 3066 or at least the chapters on amendments to the Master Plan, and make everyone resubmit plans compliant with the existing Master Plan, NO EXCEPTIONS and NO AMENDMENTS. Albert, are you listening ?
Assisted living sounds like a good idea.
Yes it does #2 but consider the amount of traffic assisted living complex will create on Franklin Ave. such as.
Housekeeping services. ( laundry and housecleaning staff)
Medical ( Testing service and ambulance transportation)
Food Service ( Food deliveries and cooking staff)
Maintenance staff
Management staff
Vistiors
One only has to look at other assisted living building in the area to see how much traffic and parking they generate
The only thing Albert listens to is his EGO
60 foot high buildings will make the entire area look like crap.
You can say that again. Le’t’s tell them we don’t want it.

Dom what it so that good enough for me
Cool, assisted living! Welcome to Riverdale 2.0. All we’ll need is an influx of hasidim and we’ll be all set. Lakewood North! Whoo!
Once assisted living gets built, will it need a bigger hospital around the corner?
