Village to hear plansfor parking garage
Proposals for a potential parking garage in downtown Ridgewood will be discussed during a special council meeting that has been called for Tuesday night.
The meeting will begin at 7:30 p.m. at Village Hall, 131 N. Maple Ave.
Ridgewood officials said the meeting will include presentations from a number of the firms that responded to the village’s request for proposals.
The council will likely choose a firm to design a multilevel parking garage when it meets Wednesday night, with an official vote planned for Sept. 16.
Village residents will vote this fall on the proposed expenditure of $15 million for the garage, slated for a site within the central business district.

Th e Ridgewood Council are just going through the motions to make it look that the process is transparent.
Price keeps going up and nothing has happened yet. Say thank you to the three stooges that control the council. What ever became of talk about a private company doing a garage?
How does this fit with the plan presented for parking and infrastructure updates presented by the builders at the high density housing meetings? They recommended a public/private split for costs so are we on the hook for this garage AND that when it goes through (as we all know it will?)
$15 million and still counting, UPWARD!
Remember Albert saying there is no hard or fast number let just use X. Is that they way he does his business ? I don’t think so but what the hell he not spending his money.
‘I just want him to be the best Mayor that Ridgewood ever had” Right?
