Ridgewood NJ, at last nights council meeting Village Engineer Christopher Rutishauser gave an update on the Village of Ridgewood ‘s Complete Streets Program.
“A complete street is a transportation facility that is planned, designed, operated, and maintained to provide safe mobility for all users, including bicyclists, pedestrians, transit vehicles, truckers, and motorists, appropriate to the function and context of the facility.” The idea is to take into account pedestrians, cars and bicycles as well as beauty and ADA requirements .
Councilwoman Bernie Walsh commented that the Village and Citizen safety have to do a better job at disseminating problem areas and what the Village’s response will be to address those problems.
Readers often comment on the poor conditions of the roads in town , Walsh felt that if more residents were informed on what’s going on and why it would help alleviate some confusion.
ROADS ARE in ruins..File that in your report.What is the plan outside of patch and run crews.Visitors see our roads up close..white knuckle roadway conditions ,crushing our cars suspensions and Tires and front ends,.
Auto repair costs insane…
Excellent idea, Bernie. At the present time very few questions from the residents are even being recognized much less being explained. There is a lot of anger in this town as they repeat and repeat certain questions and never get any sign of either an answer or an explanation of why they are not being answered. Health Barn, Paul’s “wall”, garage, etc. etc. Give us some answers or at least acknowledge that people have valid concerns.
Ha ha I love the shit storm
More socialist BS..
More Agenda 21 BS
.
More fantasy dreams of a non-car utopia.
.
…and the Cadillac Escalade driving residents of RW are first in line shouting “yay, yay”… what a bunch of buffoons.
.
“alleviate some confusion” I am not confused when driving thru pot holes, ripped up roads, badly patched up roads – I know what these are doing to my car
