We are concerned about the effects a 59 unit complex would have on our neighborhood and public schools. We do not support its construction in our small borough.

The borough council is finally reviewing our formal complaint. They cannot ignore the problems this complex will create for our schools.

This kind of development is antithetical to the type of community planning that Glen Ridge has carefully fostered and maintained over decades. Our fantastic zoning, historical society, etc. have created a unique and beautiful town. It takes only a few decisions like this to begin down a slippery slope which is irreversible.
Terrible idea. Instead of developing an apartment complex, they should utilize the space for additional athletic fields given that GR doesn't have enough to support the community.
The density of this project is out of scale with the community. The existing zoning and area do not justify a change in zoning. 3 or 4 houses can be refurbished rather than exploited for an out of character development.
There are two reasons we decided to buy a home in in this town and take on this overpriced tax bill--the schools and the easy commute to NYC. A complex like this would potentially overcrowd both of these, and that is unacceptable.
It zoning is there to protect the integrity of it historic town. No amount of ratesbles justifies changing this. No $ will be gained.amy new taxes will have to pay for increases in infrastructure needs (police, teachers, garbage pickup, DPW etc. )

With all the development in Bloomfield, our area roads are going to be seriously overtaxed with traffic, roads that are already in embarrassingly bad shape. This is a bad idea.
