Ridgewood NJ, Due to an estimating error made by the Village’s Engineering Department, the new handicapped ramps at Graydon Pool and the Lester Stable will cost $28k more than anticipated, an increase of approximately 30% above what was originally projected.

According to Village Manager Roberta Sonenfeld, the error was associated with miscalculating the quantity of materials needed for the project.

No word as to whether any disciplinary action was taken as a result of the mistake.
