Valley renewal: major concerns about the future of our great Village
I have posted a lot on Valley Hospital’s proposed renewal plans over the last few weeks and I must say, that it is evident that the vast majority of comments come from those tax-paying residents of Ridgewood that do not want Valley Hospital to expand. Most of the pro-Valley comments appear to be from residents of other towns so as far as I am concerned, their comments do not count.

We’ve been Hacked : Pizza Poll Results under dispute
I am a bit confused though, as last Wednesday after the polls had closed, your website showed the below poll results, showing A Mano had won with 22% of the vote and 74 votes. Did the voting reopen ?

Pedestrian Hit: I get the impression that many of you drivers don’t get out and walk much.
To all you “what until traffic stops” commentators here, would you like to take a shot at a question I posted previously about this. No-one yet has had a go. Here it is:
Traffic runs in both directions. Remember that. If I wait for traffic to stop, this often only means one lane of traffic stops. The other lane is still running. If I keep waiting, the driver of the stopped car, and the cars behind it, start getting pissed as I’m still standing there, waiting for the other side to stop. After a few seconds of horn honking and a look from the first car driver’s face as if I’m some kind of idiot, he then pulls away. I’m still standing there!

Field Lighting : We’ll shake down various village sports groups
PJ Can someone please explain how:
· We had a bond referendum shoved down our throats under the specter of vanishing funds from state grants
· We had or state school aid eliminated this year
· We had 2 years of multi-million dollar school budget deficits
· After the school budget was defeated, the Village Council reduced it by a whopping 1/10 of a percent
· We laid off or retired around 30 town workers and more may follow
After all the angst and tumult in this past year, now we’re getting LIGHTS for our artificial fields?!?

Readers continue to complain over the time it takes for construction approvals
“A neighbor of mine commented to me on how long it took to get permits for an addition almost a year ago. He felt as though he was jerked around, and it was a simple construction job. So as far as the layoffs being an excuse for poor service..forget it. Even last year with much slower construction there was not prompt service according to my neighbor.

Ridgewood homes are being devalued by high property taxes..
Ridgewood homes are being devalued by high property taxes. I agree with you that the Ridgewood voters have approved budgets in the past, however, this year they did not support the budget but had it shoved in their faces just the same.

Habernickle : its been too long with zero progress
How much did Habernickle cost the Village? How many years has it been sitting there.. with one tiny soccer field, which is a mess. Otherwise, whole property is overgrown. And I did read that we just spent a few hundred grand to “clean up” the dam and brook. Was that part of the original purchase, or it was an added cost from my tax-paying wallet?
