Is Ridgewood Road in South Orange paved yet?

Just wondering.

I know someone who lost a tire.  Will the town be compensating these people?  It's amazing they left it open in the condition it was - or still is.


Yes. I drove on it today. It was heavenly. 

During the week or so that it was milled, I saw a few cars pulled over at night on that stretch, presumably with damaged tires. I was going to great lengths to avoid that mess. There was one particular utility cover on the road by the top of Floods Hill that was especially problematic, I think it stuck out pretty high. And hard to see at night so I think people were driving into it at speed.  

Someone finally put a traffic cone on top of it a few days ago. 


Tangential question.  If Prospect Street is a county road, why did the repaving stop at the South Orange/Maplewood town line?  The road is still a mess between Parker Avenue and the border of South Orange.

Prospect Street is NOT a County road.  Prospect Street is a local road that connects Union, Maplewood, and South Orange.  Each municipality owns and maintains their own section of the road.
