Mayor Rendoʼs borough update The mayor told residents, “This Council will be ready to tackle our many challenges which include meeting our affordable housing mandates of 423 units. Our professionals will be working together with our Council to reduce this number through our vacant land adjustment to reach a true number of buildable units. With the expected developments at the Hilton, BMW, and 240 Broadway, we feel confident that we will meet our requirements and receive our judgment of repose without a significant impact on
our schools and community. We will always keep the residents informed of any upcoming developments once we receive specifics on any projects.” We reported recently that the council approved two resolutions to begin studies on possible redevelopment at the Hilton and BMW sites. (See “How best to use Hilton, BMW sites?,” Michael Olohan, Jan. 6, 2025, thepressgroup.net.) Rendo said the new passive park will open soon, and noted traffic flow is a top issue and that together with Bergen County has authorized a traffic study for the
Werimus Road and the Old Mill, which will be shared soon. Traffic flow will also be reviewed at the Broadway-train station intersection, Rendo said, “to bring traffic relief to the residents of the east side.” Moreover, traffic conditions at the train track crossing will be reviewed by NJ Transit, said the mayor. He said the borough will make its last payments in 2025 on the BMW tax appeal settlement,
Plenty Of Fresh Fish!
and the $1.5 million Valley Chabad settlement. “The payments of these settlements will finally close a chapter in our history and allow us to finally focus on reducing debt while investing smartly in our community,” Rendo said. He added, “Thank you for placing your trust in each and everyone of us. I look forward to continuing to move this municipality forward as your mayor.”

Nine new members were installed at the holiday dinner meeting of GFWC/NJSFWC Womanʼs Club of Westwood, held at Bellissimo Ristorante. Co-first-vice-presidents Lynda Badger and Nicole Dragona led the installation ceremony. Each new member received a bouquet of flowers and a laminated copy of The Collect, a prayer written by Mary Stewart in 1904 to foster unity among women working together on important goals. The prayer is read at all federated meetings. Adding to the festivities, members honored Mary Cerrati, on her 95th birthday, with a cake, flowers, and balloons. The club, which began as the Dorcas Sewing Society in 1908, joined the New Jersey State Federation of Womenʼs Clubs in 1919. It is
celebrating 105 years of service to the community and local charities. In recognition of this milestone, the club will host a celebratory dinner in April. For more information about the club and its many, varied activities, call 201-916-1580 or visit westwoodwomansclub.org.
