RIDGEWOOD — The president of Bergen County’s United Way this week offered details on special-needs housing that could be coming to downtown Ridgewood.
Thomas Toronto testified before the Planning Board on Tuesday about an agreement his organization has brokered to include special-needs housing as part of an expansive market-rate redevelopment proposal at the former Sealfons site.
This type of housing is sorely needed and I’m sure the NIMBY’s are already gearing up to fight it.
Sure it is. But that is a horrible site for any such project. The other site worse is the corner on franklin already approved. The developments on chestnut and down broad make much more sense…that is just proper planning and traffic flow, something obviously long absent in the Village.
Welcome to Morristown Englewood north Transit Village ahead.School budget will break this town and retirees will be reading about in the distant towns and low tax retirement states..we bitch because we care ..if the music stops then you know you waited too long to cash out of a happytimes bubble..someones going to oay dearly for increased school and diminished town services at top pier town tax rates
Yes, 11:59. That intersection is no place for such housing. For pity’s sake. There have already been traffic deaths there.
I hate it when taxed reach the top pier. After that there are no piers left. Peerless really.
Haha…the location…the schools….the traffic….the services….anything except NIMBY!! You people are hypocrites. Better to donate to Venezuela where you don’t have to look at it.
Amen 9:40. This town is insane.
@9:40, not sure what else to say? That is not, in any way shape or form, my backyard. Still does not make it a good location for such housing, no matter how great an idea. Name calling does not change facts .
When you start with the false premise that “The Village of Ridgewood needs more apartment complexes” every supporting argument, no matter how logical, reasonable or sensible it sounds is still wrong.
