Ridgewood To Implement New Parking Regulations, Options

Press release:

Ridgewood will be implementing several new parking options and regulations beginning Jan. 1, 2015 to achieve the most efficient use of parking resources for residents, commuters, central business district employees and visitors to our downtown.

The new regulations and options are as follows:

• Metered parking on all streets and lots will now allow up to 3 hours from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Saturday at a rate of $.50 per hour. Repeat parking in the same space is prohibited and will be enforced.
• Ridgewood Parking Permits (RPP) for Ridgewood Residents are available at an annual rate of $750 to provide unlimited parking in all parking lots. A Ridgewood Resident Sticker is required and available for free when purchasing the RPP.
• Ridgewood Parking Permits (RPP) for Non Residents are available at an annual rate of $1,500 to provide unlimited parking in the Cottage Place lot or the Rt. 17 Park and Ride lot.
• Central Business District Employee Permits are available on a monthly basis for $80 to provide unlimited parking from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m. at the Ken Smith property or Cottage Place lot.

All permits can be purchased at the Village Hall Reception Desk Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. by cash, check or credit card.

Similar to the situation before 2011, extended parking for more than 3 hours generally requires one of the permits outlined above. However, several 12-hour coin-operated meters will remain at the train station for Ridgewood resident commuters.
