Previous Post Previous Our taxes in Edgewater are going to be re-assessed in a five-year rolling plan because at this time, our assessed taxes are below 80%. Our taxes are the lowest in Bergen County and our Mayor and Council Members are well aware. If someone thinks that keeping our building neglected and dilapidating will in turn keep the land from being assessed at it’s accurate value for 2020-2025, you are mistaken. Thus–while I was looking at the beautiful orange glowing sunset light upon the GW Bridge and the buildings of Washington Heights juxtaposed with the pot holed, uneven, water collecting, drive way and parking area of Waterside Condominium, Inc.–I thought, well, if it has to be like gravel, it could be nice gravel. There are many fine residential properties, properties with extensive driveways, that choose loose gravel driveways, they are easy to maintain as even ground and are beautiful. We must have good drainage on the river, as we are, and the parking lot drainage is slow and often clogged. The drains need to be raised anyway, and if they were raised, it may be permitted to put in gravel. My heels may dislike gravel but my eyes, footing, and financing would be thankful.
