Matches in DBpedia 2014 for { ?s ?p Ridgewood Station is a major New Jersey Transit rail station hub. It is located in downtown Ridgewood, Bergen County, New Jersey, United States, and divides the downtown area in half. Ridgewood is serviced by the NJT Main Line as well as the Bergen County Line. The station features three platforms. Track 1 is for all trains heading to Hoboken Terminal and intermediate points on the Main and Bergen lines and is located adjacent to a portion of Godwin Avenue known as Garber Square. Track 2, the middle of the three platforms, is for Bergen County Line trains headed for points north, as well as express trains to Port Jervis and freighters, and Track 3 is for Main Line trains headed towards Waldwick, Suffern and Port Jervis and is adjacent to South Broad Street between East Ridgewood Avenue and Franklin Avenue. Many Bergen County Line trains also use Track 3. Underpasses beneath the tracks and beneath a bridge on Franklin Avenue connect the two tracks. The Erie Railroad built Ridgewood station in 1916 as a grade-separated elevated station. If riders on the Main Line or Bergen County line want to go to a station that isn't on their line (for instance, from Passaic to Radburn, etc.) Ridgewood is one of two transfer options presented at the time of ticket purchase (Secaucus Junction is the other) and is widely used for that purpose.Ridgewood Station recently underwent a major renovation project in which high-level platforms are being installed. This allows for easier boarding, as customers will be able to walk directly onto the train from the platform instead of having to climb into the train cars using their steps, as well as make Ridgewood station handicap accessible. As of August 2010 the Hoboken-bound platform has been raised to high-level and the handicap-accessible ramp has been opened. The side platform on Track 1 was raised, the Track 2 side platform was demolished altogether and replaced with an island platform which also serves Track 3, and the side platform alongside Track 3 was fenced off and is now unaccessible. Ridgewood Station is now one of seven stations along the Main and Bergen County lines that are handicap-accessible, joining the Route 17 and Main Street stations in Ramsey, Boro Hall Station in Glen Rock, Paterson Station, Rutherford Station, and the reconstructed Plauderville Station in Garfield.. }
