A proposal from Ridgewood public works officials prompted cool thoughts in the midst of a summer heat wave, but some council members want to put the idea on ice.
The preliminary discussion to change Ridgewood’s snow and ice removal policy was met with resistance after several members of the council took issue with the proposed amendments.
The Ridgewood Engineering Department presented its ideas to Village Manager Ken Gabbert, who reviewed the proposed changes at last week’s work session. The department recommended the following: a stiffer penalty for individuals and store owners who violate the snow removal policy; specifying the officials and departments that have authority to enforce the policy; and establishing a maximum height of 16 inches for snow mounds piled between the curb and sidewalk.
According to Gabbert, the changes have been proposed to “strengthen” the snow removal ordinance and increase safety and enforcement.
