Connectivity between all the main facilities in Ridgewood has nearly been achieved with the village’s Fiber Loop project close to completion.

For the past year, the Signal Department has been installing, splicing, connecting and maintaining 125,000 feet of fiber throughout Ridgewood and Glen Rock. While Glen Rock’s installation was completed a few months ago, Ridgewood still needs to install fiber lines between the Water Pollution Division and Village Hall.

“This is big,” said Village Manager Roberta Sonenfeld at a recent council meeting. “They have been working on this diligently for a long time.”

The Fiber Loop project connects the Fire Department buildings, the Emergency Services Fleet facility and the water pollution control site, among others. In all, seven facilities are currently connected to Village Hall, said Dylan Hansen, the village’s network administrator.
