GLENVILLE – After about 100 tractor-trailer strikes and turnarounds in the Canadian Pacific Railroad bridge’s existence on Glenridge Road, local officials are calling for the state and the rail company to take action in the wake of this week’s latest accident.
Town Supervisor Christopher Koetzle and the local legislative delegation said they want the state to close the underpass to truck traffic and raise the 10-foot, 11-inch bridge to a height that would be safer, as determined by traffic engineers.
All of the roads involved are owned by the state and county and would require state Department of Transportation involvement to coordinate and execute a solution, officials said.
Schenectady detectives are looking into two violent crimes on Monday.
Police say a 39-year-old man was stabbed in the arm around 2:30 Monday afternoon on Albany Street.
The man was treated at the scene for non-life threatening injuries, then transported to Ellis Hospital for further treatment.
Police say the man is not cooperating with them.
Meanwhile, just before 2 a.m., police say a 33-year-old man was dropped off at Ellis Hospital with what appeared to be a grazing bullet wound to the head. That wound is non-life threatening.
Police say that victim is not cooperating with them either.
No names were released, and no suspects are in custody.

Ellis Medicine is opening a new mental health clinic for children and adolescents in Schenectady, New York.
The $1.5 million clinic opening Monday relocates the network’s mental health services for kids and teens from the McClellan Street Health Center to a larger space next to the adult facility at the State Street Health Center. Ellis officials say they’ve planned to bring the two outpatient clinics together for years – but the timing is apt. Mental Health Service Line Director Lin Murray says, like adults, kids have been struggling during the pandemic.
