WEEKLY E-NEWS

‍FREE PARKING TOMORROW

‍MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

‍We are pleased to report that the NJ State House Commission approved the South Broad Street NJDEP Diversion on Monday. This issue was created back in 1982, and the Village became aware of the need to clear the diversion in 2011. The Village will now create the new playground and gazebo at Kings Pond Park and put this lingering issue behind us.

‍PARKING PERMITS AVAILABLE

‍Ridgewood parking permits are being sold, beginning December 19, at the Reception Desk in the lobby of Village Hall, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm., Monday through Friday, except legal holidays. You must bring your driver’s license and vehicle registration(s) for the vehicle(s) you would like to register for a parking permit.

Application forms are available on the Village website. To expedite the process, please download and fill out the appropriate form, and bring it with you to Village Hall. Forms also will be available at the Reception Desk.

Ridgewood resident one-day parking permits require a Ridgewood sticker, which is free of charge, and can be obtained at the Reception Desk. You must bring your driver’s license and vehicle registration(s) for the vehicle(s) you would like to use with the one-day parking permit.
