RIDGEWOOD — The members of the Planning Board want to see examples of where traffic improvement districts have worked as they consider designating such an area in the village.
The board, which is currently considering four developments proposed for the village’s downtown, asked its traffic consultant, John Jahr, for an analysis of where these districts have succeeded and failed and why. Jahr told board members at a recent meeting that towns use these designations to resolve lingering and future traffic safety issues.
Created in 1989, the New Jersey Transportation Development District Act permits the levying of development fees by municipalities.

They may want to start by taking a picture of the traffic on Linwood going towards town between 3-4:30 p.m. Wait til all of these people start trying to get around that, if they even bother !!!
Who knows, if they are looking to go out to dinner, shopping, etc. in town, they will certainly give that a second thought…and not just until construction is over.
