Westwood HPC proposes Bergen 250 trolley tour; tickets to go on sale March 1
Summary
At its Jan. 15 meeting the Borough of Westwood Historic Preservation Commission discussed a proposed Bergen 250 trolley tour for April 18, 2026 (three hours; 38 seats), with tickets to be sold starting March 1. Fee for the trolley is still to be determined.
Noeline Grefrath, a member of the Borough of Westwood Historic Preservation Commission, presented a proposed trolley tour route and stops for the borough’s participation in the Bergen 250 celebration on April 18, 2026.
Grefrath outlined logistics for a three-hour tour with 38 total seats (36 for the public plus two seats for HPC members). The commission noted the trolley fee remains to be determined and said it plans to begin selling tickets on March 1, 2026. The commission also agreed to prepare a written summary of the plan and send it to Colin Knight, the Bergen 250 liaison, at cknight@bergencountynj.gov.
The commission reviewed related correspondence, including a reminder about a Bergen250 partners meeting set for Jan. 27 at One Bergen County Plaza in Hackensack and an item noting that the owner of 621 Broadway contacted the HPC with interest in designating that property. The commission listed potential presenters for Bergen 250 events, including Marc Lorenc (Chief Public Historian, New Jersey Historical Commission) and Vivian Davis (Director, New Jersey Historical Commission).
No formal vote on the trolley itself was recorded at the Jan. 15 meeting; members discussed route stops, ticketing timeline, and next steps for coordinating with Bergen County staff.
