RIDGEWOOD Pickleballers will remain on limited play hours through Oct. 17, the Village Council voted Wednesday.
The 60-day experiment approved in March restricted hours for the paddle sport at Glen School and Bellair tennis courts, where neighbors had complained about noise. It was due to expire Aug. 7.
Pickleball play will continue to be limited to 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Saturday, and from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday. No pickleball will be allowed Monday and Friday.
Tennis play can continue from 8 a.m. to dark Sunday through Saturday.
The ordinance calls the continuation of limited hours a compromise for the competing interest of both the pickleball players and the neighbors.

RIDGEWOOD The Glenwood Road crossing at the Ho-Ho-Kus train station will become one-way eastbound after a month-long closing for track rehabilitation, the New Jersey of Department of Transportation has announced.
The steep, narrow street with hairpin turns is one that locals rely on to get to the train station and shops in Ho-Ho-Kus, but the department regards it as unsafe.
Beginning Monday, Glenwood Road was closed at Upper Boulevard in Ridgewood for construction. Brookside Avenue is closed at Warren Avenue and First Street in Ho-Ho-Kus.
The grade-level crossing will be replaced with new concrete crossings and new asphalt approaches. The federally funded project is part of the Department of Transportation s railroad grade-crossing safety program. It repairs, upgrades or removes about 50 crossings each year, statewide.
RIDGEWOOD A rally against anti-Asian racism attracted hundreds of supporters on Saturday but turned tense when a protester challenged the right of the village s white mayor to speak.
The Ridgewood Chinese American Association organized the gathering at Van Neste Square Memorial Park after a series of violent attacks against Asian Americans across the U.S. in recent months. The group wanted to show the world that hate has no place in our community, according to its Facebook page. The first Asian Americans came 250 years ago, and 250 years later, many of us have succeeded; however, we still suffer from racism, aggression, xenophobia and hate every single day, co-organizer Julia Ding told the crowd. There is no more time to wait, not even weeks to waste. Minding our own business is simply no longer acceptable.
