Waldwick – A borough resident who lives virtually on the Ho-Ho-Kus Brook is again asking for help shoring up its embankment, which was compromised by spring storms.

The brook, which flows between Dow and South Dow avenues, Brearly Crescent, Salrit Avenue in the borough and Andover Terrace in Ridgewood, is considered a selling point for homes in the area when it babbles peacefully, but Michael Hansen has seen another side of it: He remembers when the water reached the mailbox of his home on Dow Avenue during Hurricane Floyd in 1999 and fears what would happen in similar conditions if the brook’s bank is not reinforced.
