Maybe cover how the council, chamber of commerce allowed a corp franchise In P&G’s Tide Cleaners to open next door to an established small business Dry Cleaner and across the street from a Woman owned small business Dry Cleaner. A shame.
How about talking about a few of the village of Ridgewood vehicles must be marked. Yes the Village has vehicles riding around with no markings on them. And we are not talking about the police department. This needs to be addressed immediately.
Yes all of the village fleet should be marked. Why wouldn’t they be! Unless someone is trying too (Hyde) .
Make them big and bright. Just so we know who’s on the road.
Yes we understand we have police unmarked vehicles, but every other vehicle should have markings on it. With everything that’s going on in the public we need to know who is in our neighborhood.
What is the next big phase of building in the village. Anyone know.
