Paul Aronsohn please tell us the town managers name and why is this person not quoted?

Nice! Ridgewood-Glen Rock Patch should be part of the Justice League! :)

I understand the need for revenue to offset the added demand brought by so much traffic in town not just police needed for disaster relief but now there are officers policing the gas stations with so many out of towners here looking for food, gas and charging stations.

Thank you , Patch and Mayor Aronsohn ! It's about time a little perspective was given to those without power or heat .
@USA1,Village Manager is Ken Gabbert who most definitely allowed these idiots to start ticketing.Parking Authority blokes should be helping the relief effort , not aggravating stressed out taxpayers.

Ridgewood lifer- you can continue to put those quarters in the meters since you thought it wasn't a big deal.

Jackass!

If the gasoline situation doesn't get straightened out soon, there won't be any cars downtown to park.

glad someone did something about that - when i read the first article i was just sickened at thought they would do that...

Maureen. Please dont call the people following Ken Gabberts orders idiots. are they supposed to quit their jobs in protest? So nice that they were redirected to help with clean up. Im sure they are happy to do it

Still, it's easier to ticket people who park in town to SPEND MONEY than for drivers on Ridgewood, Franklin, Broad, Grove and Linwood who are speeding with their cellphones up to their ears. Selective justice.

Parking enforcement people cant give out speeding tickets. They are not police officers. Its a common misperception.

Mr. Mayor i base my claim on my e-mail to you on what you can read on the patch . Just plain stupidity by the village.

At least there's some people who get it! Kerry has the right idea. Jackass sheesh some internet mouth you got.

So will those who received tickets on Thursday remain on the hook for the payments?

I really don't see why drivers expect to have meters unenforced because of the storm. I know we all hate meters and getting tickets in general, but really? I can see where there might be non-enforcement of street parking at night on the regular residential streets following the storm, but that's all. It's nothing to do with being heartless. I know many of us have a story to tell of damage and power outages, but what does this have to do with whether you should feed the meter as you would normally have to?

^^^^^^^ THIS

I do not believe the issue is that people expected unenforcement, but with so much going on it is sadly assumed. So when I parked at a meter Thursday I hadn't heard yes or no so I fed it. But make an announcement that meters will be enforced and there would not be this much blow back. But when you send a parking person out and see that person ticketing people who forgot or made an assumption during this crazy time that is wrong. Nyc suspened meters for a day or two and they announce it daily what is suspened what is not, Ridgewood should have done the same.

In my opinion, it would have been a nice gesture and show of support for the community to suspend parking meter violations. It also would have been a smart move from our village manager. I'm glad he reconsidered.

Where is the reporting on the power situation? Half of Ridgewood has no electricity and Patch gives us continuous updates on parking??? I don't get it.

What's next, a story about lost dogs?

Mr. Mayor I think you and village manager should be a little more concerned with the residents in Ridgewood that still have no power? Pretty sure that might be a bigger priority then ticketing cars for not putting a quarter in the meter. Village of Ridgewood always looking for a way to make a buck. Love it when the cops wait by the High School to ticket the kids after school. The amount of taxes we pay in the village and yet we seem to be "so hard up" for money. Shame on you - Mr. Mayor get outside at night when its cold and dark and most people still have no electricity and see how unimportant meters in the parking seem. Oh sorry I bet you still have power?

North End of Ridgewood, near Ho-Ho-Kus border is still without power. ????

Does anyone have information as to the status of that problem?
Please ID the source of that infor, thanks.

Dear James,
I have finally found a friend with power and computer and can now ask for your help. Could someone--you--get to the powers that be--and tell them no more leaves in the streets. It is so dangerous driving in Rwd, MP, GR now. It doesn't matter that the policy is 7 days before pick-up. NJ is still in a state of emergency and common sense needs to prevail over whatever policy exists for normal times.

Like most of the Village, I am cold--and getting colder every day. It has made me a bit on edge and everyone I talk to feels the same way. So to have completely selfish residents clogging up the streets when the streets are already a disaster is truly disgusting. So what if your leaves stay an extra week on your lawns. Emergency vehicles are going to have an increasingly hard time coming up S. Hill, going down part of Heights and Glen and Van Dien and N. Pleasant and on and on. Please, please could we have some Adults start taking the reins here.

And also James, could you publish daily updates on the power situation. It is surreal to be so out of touch. I don't have enough gas to ride around listening to the radio, and it seldom if ever addresses our area. We really need a central meeting and information area in this Village. Thanks,
