Crews were working all through the night and will continue to work all through today to remove snow from the streets.
As far as the downtown goes, we have accumulated 250 truckloads (!) of snow on the downtown streets to remove to the Graydon Pool parking lot. Snow piles are particularly large and high on Dayton. We have started the removal operation section by section, so as each section is completed parking will be available. As has been the case in other large snowfalls, the meters are inaccessible and the mounds of snow against the curbs make it almost impossible in non-angled parking spots to get out on the passenger side of the car. So please use caution. The removal of snow from the curb area around the meters is the responsibility of individual business owners. It's a lot of snow and we clearly do not want this snow thrown into the street today, so we will be working with the businesses community tomorrow to address this issue.
As far as the rest of the Village is concerned, our top priority today through tonight is to make the school routes safe and particularly to remove any visibility problems around the corners. We feel that the main streets are in good shape and that the secondaries are in decent shape. In the event that we missed coming through an additional time with our plows, please email Linda Salvi at lsalvi@ridgewoodnj.net with your street information.
With respect to sanitation and recycling: While we will keep to the schedule, all sanitation must be brought to the curb. Please help any neighbors that may need help in this regard.
I just got off the phone with Nancy Greene, the Director of the Library. The Library will try to have a normal open at 1:00. We have concerns about icing in the parking lot as well as some of the paths so we will be making a definite call later this morning. Please check the library website for more information at www.ridgewoodlibrary.org.
Just a reminder: In your cleanup efforts for today, please do not throw snow into the streets.
We will be monitoring emails today so if you have questions or concerns please let me know.
Stay safe,
Roberta Sonenfeld

We, at Village Hall, have been closely monitoring the weather forecasts over the last several days. While not definitive as yet, there does appear to be a growing consensus that we will experience a significant snow event from Saturday morning into Sunday morning with accumulations between 4-8 inches. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch.
It’s been a while since our last snow event, so I wanted to take this opportunity to not just assure you that we are on top of this, but also to provide some information that will help us work together to safely handle this event.
First of all, safety of our residents is the primary concern - so please stay off of the roads and drive only if absolutely necessary; this storm may not just be a snow event – there is a likelihood of high winds so blowing and drifting snow may be an issue.
To stay informed, please check our Village website (www.ridgewoodnj.net), our information phone number 201-444-1776, Channels 34 or 77…….. and if you are not already signed up for Emergency Notifications please do so on our website.
Residents should call 911 only for life threatening emergencies. Please call our Police Line (201-652-3900) to report downed power lines, trees, etc. Please call PSE&G directly (800-436-7734) to report loss of power.
Please keep fire hydrants free of debris and do not deposit snow into the streets. Additionally, vehicles should not be parked on the streets as it affects our ability to clear the street of snow. As a reminder, snow must be cleared off of the sidewalks within 24 hours of the storm’s end.
We are starting our brining operation (liquid solution of water and salt) today and will work through tomorrow to coat all of our streets. Depending upon the amount and texture of the snow as well as the temperature, brining can be an effective snow accumulation deterrent that also can reduce the amount of salt we apply and the amount of plowing we need to do.
Please be reminded that our snow removal is prioritized according to emergency routes, main roads, hills and Central Business District. After these areas are cleared, plowing begins on secondary roads. Please use caution when approaching Village vehicles that are salting and plowing.
Thanks to everyone for their cooperation and stay safe,
Roberta Sonenfeld, Village Manager
