Why are we doing this when they are bonding a 9 million plus dollars for a parking garage that is 500 ft away?
a. INTRODUCTION – #3670 – Bond Ordinance – Reconfiguration of Train Station Parking Lot ($330,000)
Who is this Council working for the taxpayers or commuters ?
commuters because you have to work in NYC to afford to live in Ridgewood
What a bunch of CROOKS
Cowardly act to carve out some bs compact car revenue
Sir Madam have you no shame or decency A criminal act against our train station and safe walkways and trees and Farmers market access
When it snows you need places to plow the snow too
Idiots
you have to work in NYC to afford to live in Ridgewood
Come on James ! So because you want to live in Ridgewood all the taxpayers have to pay for commuting parking spots . I think the heat has gotten to you. What happen to the guy who is alway try to save money for the town?
Building a white elephant parking garage isn’t enough ? We need more parking. $3000,00 bonding for train station parking, 9 million parking for the garage. Taxes are going up or rents will be going up. Soon you will need two jobs in NY.
Do the train station. Forget the parking garage.
wish is was so simple to swop one idiotic mistake for another ..that train with all of our IO U. ‘ s has left the station .They who claim to know better driving this runaway train
with our future liabilities onboard..they will move onto to Trenton or other political
destination ..we will be left holding the Stinking Bag..
