The energy savings in the muni-  cipal building and police dept. is estimated to be $569 per month. Best  of all, because the Borough’s share of the cost for the lighting improve-  ments will be re-imbursed from the savings over a 24-month period, the  project is essentially being done for free. Pictured above are Jeremy  and Jared Kope on ladders in the Administration Office, while Nancy  Ferrigno and Anna Mae Kiss work at their desks.   New Lighting Will Be Brighter  BETTER LIGHTING SAVES ENERGY TOO — Workmen from Bristol  Developers have been replacing flourescent lamps, ballasts and metal-  halide fixtures at the DPW under PSE&G’s Direct Install Program. The  energy savings is estimated to be $605 per month. Because the  Borough’s share of the cost for the lighting improvements will be re-  imbursed from the savings over a 24-month period, the project is  essentially being done at no cost to the Borough.   WPPD Puts Spotlight On Helmet Safety  POLICE URGE KIDS TO USE HELMETS — At a recent press con-  ference Anthony Galietti, Woodland Park Police Chief, hoped to get  the word out through local media that children need to wear a hel-  met when on play equipment like bicycles, roller blades and skate  boards. A donation of 180 helmets by Perfect Shine Auto Salon and  another 30 by the N.J. Brain Injury Assn. will enable patrol officers to  provide a free helmet to a child found without one. Pictured above  are (background lt to rt) Det. Sgt. John Uzzalino, Councilman Joseph  Spinelli, Mayor Pat Lepore, Chief Galietti and Perfect Shine owner  Rick Mahmood;(foreground lt to rt) Thomas Bolen, TJ Uzzalino and  Tyler Uzzalino.     NJDOT’s Rt. 3/46 & Valley Rd.

Welcome to Woodland Park, N.J.      West Paterson’s name was changed to the Borough of Woodland Park, effective January 1, 2009. A refer-endum on the Nov. 4, 2008 General Election ballot, calling for the name change, resulted in a majority of the registered voters in favor of changing the name of the borough: 2,136 Yes to 2,111 No. On Dec. 17, the Mayor and Council approved a resolu-tion accepting the election results and officially de-claring Woodland Park as the borough’s new name.      A second referendum was placed on the Nov. 3, 2009 General Election ballot seeking to have the borough’s name revert back to West Paterson. Voters defeated the question: 2,248 No to 2,216 Yes. Therefore, the borough’s official name will remain Woodland Park.      In this website, you’ll find information about our municipality’s services and our community.      Woodland Park is a suburban town of mountain and river edge neighborhoods. The Borough is located in the northeastern part of the state about 20 miles west of New York City. You can learn more about the Borough of Woodland Park and get general contact information by clicking the About W.P. link above.      For information on how to contact individual Borough officials, click on the Borough Directory and Mayor & Council links. To find out when Council meetings, Board meetings, and community events are scheduled, click on the Calendar link or the Recreation Events button.      The Public Safety link includes the Police and Fire Departments, the First Aid Squad, and the Office of Emergency Management (OEM).
