I travel from Northvale to the Steel Wheel almost every Thursday evening to enjoy being outside and support the live music scene. If not for the opportunity to be outside, I would not be there as it is extremely crowded inside and who wants to be inside when the weather is beautiful? Why not give your businesses the opportunity to blossom and let them keep their outside spaces? KEEP THE OUTSIDE DINING!

CBD is for people, not for cars! Put the cars in the lot and let the residents, their families, and visitors enjoy our outdoor dining, shopping, and events.

Please keep outdoor dining for the Restaurants in Ridgewood. It has been an amazing asset within the town to be able to dine Al fresco!

Outdoor dining has been a nice addition to the town. The garage was added - there is no shortage of parking spaces.

Outdoor dining has been a huge success, why anyone would even consider stopping it is mind boggling especially now that the pandemic is ending and people feel safer to go back to regular life, including dining out.

Outdoor dining is so much more pleasant and adds to the vibrancy of the community. As a realtor, I can say that buyers find all of these outdoor dining options a big draw.

Outdoor dining brings a fabulous fun element to our already amazing downtown! Ridgewood’s amazing restaurants deserve this opportunity to prosper after a tough couple of years and I support this initiative 100%

Has making ridgewood Ave one way been discussed? That would allow for more pedestrians and outdoor dining? Just a thought.

Outdoor dining and the pedestrian mall create a family-friendly downtown. We should be expanding, not eliminating, it.

ridgewood's walkable downtown is one of its best features. why prioritize cars just to get additional $$$ from parking? do we not collect enough from parking? did we not build a whole parking garage two years ago??

Outdoor dining is one of the only good changes to come about as a result of Covid! Please keep it.

Please don’t rake this away to quickly- we are all just starting to go out again, and need to give business owners a chance to get back on their feet. You can compromise by scaling them back a bit to free up spots- but don’t close them down abruptly.
