WEEKLY E-NEWS

‍ENHANCED INTERSECTION SAFETY

‍The intersection of Linwood and Maple Avenues just got much safer thanks to the Village’s Signal Division. Larger traffic lights, new signage and push button-activated accessible pedestrian signals are just a few of the new safety measures. Take a walk over and push the button!

‍CONGRATULATIONS!

‍Earlier this week, Mayor Paul Vagianos swore in Firefighter Connor McGuire, a lifelong Village resident and Ridgewood High School graduate. And last week, three new police officers wore sworn in - David DeNicola, Brian Skettini and John Riker. Thank you, all, for keeping our community safe!

‍WELLNESS CHALLENGE UPDATE

We are pleased to report that 164,850 minutes have been logged for the 1 Million Minutes of Wellness Challenge, which kicked off on September 13 and runs through December 5. Let's keep the momentum going!
