on part of Fresh Pond
Road in Ridgewood, Councilman
Robert Holden advised drivers
on Friday, Aug. 30 of a five-day
grace period from being fined for
parking violations.
Holden made a statement encouraging
residents who received
a parking ticket in the five working
day period after the Department of
Transportation put up new signage
on Fresh Pond Road to make to
enlist the Department of Transportation
in their fight to appeal
the ticket.
The new signs are a part of the
DOT’s installation of a bus lane
along the stretch that of Fresh
Pond between Metropolitan and
Putnam avenues.
During this period, constituents
are “eligible to receive a letter from
DOT. This letter can be used when
appealing the ticket and it will
most likely result in the ticket being
dropped,” wrote Holden.
The DOT confirmed that they
will provide drivers with an

qualification that “the letter will
not adjudicate the ticket.” A spokesperson
from Holden’s office said

that drivers can contact the agency
for clarification on whether they
fall within this grace period.
