Ridgewood officials are planning a removal and collection program in the near future to address the issue of abandoned bicycles tying up racks throughout the village, particularly near the train station.
According to Village Engineer Chris Rutishauser, some bicycles left attached to these racks have not been moved for months and display signs of long-term abandonment. Several show significant rusting on the frames, and many have toppled over, taking up more space.
Since the abandoned cycles still occupy rack space, they present a problem for active commuters who have increasingly less space to safely chain their bicycles, according to Rutishauser.
