RIDGEWOOD — A vote on the application for a mixed-use development at the Ken Smith Motors site was postponed Tuesday evening as concerns about the potential impact on an already overburdened roadway in downtown Ridgewood.
I am holding out hope that this will not be approved, but alas, I think it is false hope…
So, as I said, if it passes it is the planning board, Ridgewood residents, who pass it.
They can refuse to pass it. I will be at the mic speaking against it.
This is not a done deal.
I hope I am joined by many other residents who will speak against its passage.
@9.22. Same here. All these “projects” that started in the past seem to just have been slowed down but they’re surely headed to completion.
I am holding out hope too. This particular project will be a safety nightmare.
Developer$ can’t be stopped….follow the money…..
9:59. They’re Ridgewood residents and it’s not simply a choice. I think they’re being as diplomatic as the law alllws them to be.
They have to adhere to the law and the ordinances in place. Pay attention to the whole picture. They’re doing what they can. But where was your outrage and outcry long before now. When things could have been done.
You’re too late. And you’re not correct.
That said. Sure. Go to the meeting and speak. I think it would be refreshing to see some people in attendance at a planning board meeting. I go and I watch. Never anyone there.
What other properties does this same developer control
I have absolutely no idea why you people don’t understand what goes on around here…connotating that just because their residents and they sit on the board this gives them the option of refusal is a joke. You really don’t get it do you? You can step up to the mic and blather all you like and petition for redress but we all know at the end of the day the decisions were made long ago and you were not and never will be a part of that process. Your job is pay the patently absurd taxes that we scam you with under the pretext of wonderful schools, over paid municipal workers ( Et Al) and to not complain. It’s how it’s done around here. We’ve been doing it for years. And getting away with it. SO DONT ROCK THE BOAT
Go and speak up. We have undone a fair amount of the damage wreaked on our town by the Mayor Aronson regime, and we can’t rest now.
