Tell your story #TheRidgewoodblog , #
I see Request for Holiday Free Parking Days in CBD is on the agenda. I hope Tony Damiano doesn’t bring his friend Delzio to bully more innocent people! Maybe we need the cops to show up. They are only 2 floors down.
Let’s not extend the idiotic dining corrals, A.K.A. “stealing the street for free.” In fact, let’s deep-six them.
The mayor and other restaurant owners can add tables inside if they want more money.
I hope the topic of safety at Ridgewood Village council meetings is addressed. Based on campaign contributions given by the individual in question who cause problems at the last meeting and was allowed to walk out laughing, it should be addressed. Each member of the dais should apologize. This person gave money, $500 each to Mayor Vagianos and council persons Weitz and Winograd, but not a word was uttered when he became aggressive to someone sitting in the audience. This behavior from the council is shameful and a horrible display of proper decorum.
Another shitshow for sure!
