Ridgewood does not need to have another distraction on the road like a giant bright digital billboard so that Outfront media can make more money and where it will put drivers on Route 17 (both ways as it is 2 sided) in harms way. This is wrong!!
Totally agree.
Someone is out to make big money on this. Not needed!! Vote NO!!
Clearly terrible and dangerous. Horrifying.
How much is the towel making of this horses sign on private property? Just wondering
At one of the meetings the rep from Outfront media said that Ridgewood could use the sign for free to post things like hours for Graydon Pool or that there was a Village event going on like a sidewalk sale, thus directing traffic to the CBD, so if they end up voting yes, it is about CBD as I don’t think they care about the land owner making bucks. Perhaps Ridgewood does get a monthly stipend. who knows. Maybe the mayor will advertise specials at It’s Greek to Me. what I do know having seen these atrocities is they are almost blinding to drive past so probably not smart in a high traffic area where people speed and don’t need to be distracted with when the craft fair is taking place or an other nonsense.
Little by little, over all this time, we have lost our village charm. So sad!
Been gone for AT LEAST 2 decades.
And yet you’re still here
Doesn’t change the facts…
Exactly! That is what I meant by saying “over all this time”. Wish we could go back to the way it used to be. I know, it will never happen . Breaks my heart what our village has turned into
Who land is this sign going to be on.?
Approve the billboard on one side of 17 and the mega sports complex on the other.
Far enough away from the important people up on the hill.
Just wait if this unnecessary and dangerous distraction is put up and causes ANOTHER major accident on Route17.Especially where this sign will be put. I have witnessed many an accident, starting from the beginning of the Park and Ride and further south from there ,over my many years.And these accidents happened without this huge distraction! VOTE NO!!
Who cares, the village is in the toilet.
More perverting of our children for monetary gain … They want to legalize prostitutes as “$ex workers” … another scheme to generate money …
