Ridgewood NJ, The governor’s office released a list of transportation projects that will shut down today due to a lack of funding after legislators and the Governor failed to come to agreement on a gas tax increase to fuel the state’s Transportation Trust Fund.
The road work shutdown follows an Executive Order by Gov. Chris Christie, who last week pledged work would be halted if legislators didn’t approve a 23-cent gas tax to fund the state’s Transportation Trust Fund, which expired Friday.
The temporary shutdown of $3.5 billion worth of projects will impact both Department of Transportation (DOT) and NJ Transit initiatives. Work on projects funded by the TTF will stop by 11:59 p.m. on Friday for at least seven days, according to the governor’s office .

Three local Ridgewood DOT projects are affected ; North Van Dien Avenue: $149,000
Morningside Road: $149,000 and also a $300,000 maintenance project for the Ridgewood Train Station .
Wtf ! Why after a 50 million dollar renovation a few years ago does the station need 300k in maintenance???.
Right 12:28 I was thinking the same thing as I was reading the article
And that’s just the cost of replacing the lightbulbs.
Elevators are so unclean they might need a HAZ mat team.thisis constant.
Between the weekend drinking and throwing up and lack of site bathrooms
The elevators are so filthy that questions need to be asked who is resonsible for such a shotty clean up,
that place looks like shit ,
That’s called TTF graft in action…. $300K is pure waste following the renovation. It’s obvious TTF theft of state taxpayers, and it’s why the TTF spends $2.1mn per mile of state road versus the next highest state at $675K/mile. Audit the TTF and find out how they approve $300K projects for newly renovated train stations like Ridgewood.
will that be more over time for the police dept,
