THE RIDGEWOOD NEWS
With a dearth of places to build parking in downtown Ridgewood, officials may need to look at technological solutions to maximize the remaining space.
One of those solutions could come in the form of an automated parking system, which could potentially house more cars than a standard parking garage in the same amount of space.
Village Engineer Chris Rutishauser and his team gave a presentation on this kind of parking system – in which a patron drives into a stall, exits their vehicle and their car is automatically parked within the structure – at a Village Council meeting last month
Interest in automated parking systems has been spurred in recent weeks by a presentation made by Langan Development in early March, which proposed a type of automated parking as part of its development at North Walnut Street.
The Hudson Street lot, which is another desirable site for a parking structure, is also a candidate to receive automated parking if the village decides to go in that direction. Rutishauser described Hudson Street as a “tight site,” and an automated setup would allow the village to park significantly more cars.

Enough of the BULLSHIT…..
BUILD A PARKING GARAGE……
This is not hadrians wall for goodness sake.
This has been going on for YEARS….
Shit or get off the pot!
I really think this should be talked about for another decade or two, what is the hurry?
I agree — a parking deck would also be practical and less expensive and more easily supervised.
Thanks for sharing the live link to this story.
That old man of Robert St/ fame is on top of this and has made some very clear comments and laid some blame on our Village Engineer.
Show me the money. Has there been any discussion on how much it will cost and who will pay for this in tax dollars? People who say “just build it ” without any knowledge presented to them by this council are just fools. So far we have gotten nothing but bullshit from these three with no real plan.
The “just build it” folks are the ones who stand to gain from building it.
Yes, brilliant, thanks Declan … It’s always someone’s “gain” in your conspiratorial world…give it a rest. Maybe just maybe some of us have been around longer than you and have witnessed this crap go on and on. Your ignorance is plausible given your prior comments and expected of the nouveau riche that is Ridgewood as of late. Govern yourself accordingly.
Wow Declan are you going to take that from 6:19 . Must be a developer or a member of the Chamber or maybe even a Amigo.
The Village already has enough parking. If you reaaly can’t find a spot, well that basically means that the Village is full. Go somehere else.
