Sept 16 is LAST CHANCE to speak up!
Dear CBR Supporters and Friends,
Please plan to attend the Village Council Meeting on Wednesday, September 16 at 7:30 pm at Village Hall.
This will be your LAST CHANCE to voice your opinion on a series of “sweeping reforms” that will allow high-density housing to be built in our Central Business District.
While surrounding towns like Ho-Ho-Kus and Glen Rock welcome new housing development appropriate for their downtowns at 10-15 units per acre, Ridgewood is ready to change the zoning in our downtown to 35 units per acre. Is Ridgewood looking to become a more urban village? If our Village Council approves this Master Plan Amendment, the answer will be yes.
This is YOUR village and you do have a voice. September 16is your last chance to speak up.
Please come to the Village Council Meeting to speak up, or just to lend your support. Encourage friends and neighbors to come, too. Mayor Paul Aronsohn said the Village Council will vote on September 16. We are hoping a room filled with concerned citizens will sway Council members to reconsider enacting these ordinances.
Thank you for your continued support! We hope to see you on the 16th!

Check your calendar now! If that is your back to school night (as it is for four elementary schools) then speak on September 9…this Wednesday!
AND there is a meeting on Tuesday night about the parking garage that is not even posted. There is a master plan here to keep everyone from attending and spekaing up.
According to the Village calendar and website, the Sept. 16 council meeting starts at 8:00.
How are there multiple meetings on everything (garage for example) but one for this? All those planning board meetings were a time for lawyers to talk over each other, not for residents to speak. Have all the council members who were not on that board read through all the transcripts? Are we sure?
