Garage study (continued from page 7) vehicles alone. The Ridgewood Council discussed the concept of a shared municipal garage with one or more other northwest Bergen County towns at some length. Glen Rock, which had been part of Ridgewood until 1894, was the first choice, since the towns have shared other facilities, notably a tub grinder used create mulch for faster recycling. The joint garage proposal got off to a rocky start because Ridgewood officials merely assumed that Glen Rock officials would be interested without asking Glen Rock -- according to the Glen Rock officials. Once dip- lomatic relations resumed, officials in both municipalities were attracted by the concept of a repair center for both Ridgewood and Glen Rock with both towns sharing cost and management.
