Ridgewood NJ, Congratulations, to Mike ,Susan and Heather Village of Ridgewood and the Ridgewood Village Council received the 2017 Innovation in Governance Award, honored by the National League of Cities and Sustainable Jersey Silver certified!!
Sustainable Jersey is a nonprofit organization that provides tools, training and financial incentives to support communities as they pursue sustainability programs. By supporting community efforts to reduce waste, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and improve environmental equity, Sustainable Jersey is empowering communities to build a better world for future generations.
The Sustainability Champion award recognizes municipalities that have scored the most points in the Sustainable Jersey certification program in three population categories (large, medium and small).
“The Sustainable Jersey municipal awards recognize the outstanding work being done at the local level,” said Randall Solomon, who co-directs Sustainable Jersey with Donna Drewes. “We are extremely impressed by the innovative and effective sustainability programs and initiatives of these towns. They deserve to be commended for their accomplishments.”
What are you kidding us . For doing what, I’m sorry that’s a joke.
The National League of Cites, founded in the 1940’s to strengthen “local rule” has morphed over the years into a bloated top heavy organization whose goals are to promote and implement AGENDA 21along with the rest of the liberal/socialist agenda.

Kudos to Ridgewood for taking another step towards Socialism!
(We’re rich 1-percenters – nor reason why we should be allowed to keep our hard earned money and live life on our own terms)

If we eliminate the green bike lanes and re-establish two lanes of traffic both ways under the Franklin Ave underpass through to the traffic light at West Ridgewood Avenue, will they rescind the award?
This town is a joke
Please
Sustainable Jersey (at least they are transparent and don’t hide behind a misleading name) states the following as their policy:
.
“Sustainable Jersey is a nonprofit organization that provides tools, training and financial incentives to support communities as they pursue sustainability programs. By supporting community efforts to reduce waste, cut greenhouse gas emissions, and improve environmental equity, Sustainable Jersey is empowering communities to build a better world for future generations.
.
They are just another far left anti-progress “green” organization in the mold of Ellsworth Toohey.
.
That’s remarkable “”””””
We need the mayor and council and manager to worry about repaving the parking lot ,s in the CBD where my customers park every day And some other side streets in the CBD oranges they need to be repaved my business has been in town for 30 years enough said start repairing things that customers use on a daily basis.
