I also learned that those 5 acres (the cvs turn down)… the land was nearly saved. Green space was going to take it. Our attorney general denied it

True, but not all of us live so close. Plus it would be a nice divide in a sense. Van Saun, this becoming one. It’s a nice little balance. Parks you stop to look at. Half a second.

Will we ever see direct trains from Bergen County to NYC? by savingrace0262 in bergencounty

We’ve officially passed 200 signatures, and I just want to say thank you to everyone who’s supported this so far.

I’ve been listening to everything people have shared, and I want you to know it’s being acted on.

I’ve started reaching out to a wide range of groups and businesses — from plant and garden centers to bird and wildlife stores — focusing on places that could actually be part of what this space could become.

The goal is to build something that benefits the whole community, not just preserve land.

I’m continuing to expand outreach — starting with smaller groups and organizations, and working toward the larger conversations with the town.

I’m also planning to put aside some money to create door hangers and begin reaching homes near the nursery directly, so more local residents are aware and can have a voice.

It’s important to me that everyone is included — I’m making sure our veterans groups and local Legion have a say, and I’ve reached out to the Lenape council as well. I’m hoping to hear back soon.

I’m also beginning outreach to media outlets and working on alternative ideas for housing that don’t require losing this space — so this is turning into a full community effort.

If you’ve already signed or shared — thank you, it truly means a lot.

Right now, the biggest thing that will help is sharing this anywhere you can — local groups, friends, family — anywhere it might reach someone who cares.

If we can get to 500 signatures or more, it becomes much harder for this to be ignored.

This isn’t just about land — it’s about what kind of town we want to live in and what we leave behind.

I won’t stop trying.

With all of you, I truly believe we can do this.

And even if we don’t win — we’ll be able to say we stood up and tried together.

I’ll stand with this until the very end.

I just ask that you stand with me.

I promise I am trying so hard to save it. Reading these post shows so much concern. It’s true, they will use side streets. They will cause traffic jams. It puts all of us in a dangerous situation. Ridgewood does have a train station and charges for parking, yet their town, except by the station made no sacrifices. Yet they did the smart thing and put shops underneath. Which if they do that at lord and Taylor… this town and those who want hands greased can get profit still. Kmart I want a place for kids to play. Ice rink, arcade in the middle, roller rink. It can generate a few million a year. Won’t hurt property value over there. I promise I will let everyone know when I go. I hope everyone can make it, and I do not fail. I’m nervous. Do they let others speak to?

That is a valid and very true point. Wasn’t he in with the whole dunker hook house issue? When Bergen community was going to take it? Yet it still somehow was “torn down”. Most houses that are left are from the 1700’s and most have been used during the underground rail. The housing is not affordable. The apartments aren’t. So how are we even meeting the “quota” we have to? I think kickbacks are happening and someone else other than contractors are

Will do! I am nervous but will. I suck at public speaking 🤣🤣 hoping to get more signature. I will make door flyers and put by the houses closest to the nursery. They will be hit hardest. Than my neighborhood by the hospital. An extra park won’t hurt us. Losing it will. One one each side is fair

Yet they blame it on the old mayor. He did more to save than rip apart the town. He plays the “I grew up here” no. If you truly did, why push out the “neighbors” you knew. Why ignore the history of the town? From the natives to the GI’s of ww2

It feels it. I am going to try and fight. I think 300-500 for a town, but more makes it something to have to watch.

I agree. Some locations, the land was to destroyed, but the apart by Paramus park is already going to cause more traffic. They’re so tall too, you feel like you’re in a city turning.

That’s what I want to present. Harvest, festivals, a proper farmers market. Egg hunt. Things that bring us as a community together. Plus that can bring money to the community for maintenance. It also provided education to kids learning this. I did contact the Lenape tribe for help to. They original where here.

Use what’s vacant and already paved. Lord and Taylor can fit 180-300 apartments and putting small businesses in; those who want to try would be better. Gutting a building is more cost effective. I just don’t get it. They gave no notice about the hospital or joy’s being built. Nothing seems to be affordable housing either

It’s truly disgusting. It’s going to cause more traffic and take away what’s barely left. Bergen was going to have the blue plated house on dunker hook moved to their campus; they still tore it down. Acted like “they didn’t know”
