THE RIDGEWOOD NEWS
The Ridgewood school district reported this week that some students are ignoring signs prohibiting pedestrian traffic on the footbridge that connects Stevens and Stadium fields at Ridgewood High School (RHS).
“This is a serious safety concern,” said RHS Co-Interim Principal Basil Pizzuto in an email to parents.
An engineering report issued in December found deterioration of the bridge’s foundation, and it was shut down until repairs could be made. The bridge has been a topic of discussion at the Board of Education for a number of years, and became an even bigger issue with flooding from the Ho-Ho-Kus Brook caused by major weather events in 2011.
