Heermance Place Parking Spots Eliminated

From the Ridgewood/Glen Rock Patch:

It was a hard thing to park on Heermance Place when you went to RHS. The hard part was getting up earlier enough to gain a spot. For a while there was a pecking order of cars with drivers who got up early to secure the prized spot.

I don't blame anyone for banning parking. It is not a right of passage for students attending RHS so I feel nothing has been lost. On the contrary, the bus lanes are now more devoid of congestion.

Yes, times have changed. I can't imagine how difficult it must be for some students without a stay-at-home Mom to make it to and from school without a car. In some cases these students have to work and need their car to commute.

I had a stay-at-home Mom, and so did most kids at RHS. We might have complained about their questions but we never missed a meal and could always count on them for a ride on a rainy day.
