GLENVILLE The town will go forward with plans for a law to fine truck drivers who strike the Glenridge Road railroad bridge, but the best solution would be to route commercial trucks away from the road entirely, town leaders said.
“The key is, we have got to stop the trucks before they even get to Glenridge, at (state) Route 146,” said Town Supervisor Chris Koetzle.
An alternative designated truck route probably down Route 146 into Niskayuna and Schenectady, and then north into Glenville on Freeman’s Bridge Road would require approval from the state Department of Transportation, since the state owns both Route 146 and Glenridge Road.

GLENVILLE - With Republican Town Supervisor Chris Koetzle set to vie for a fourth term, Democrat Town Board member Mike Aragosa says the community doesn t need a career politician who he portrayed as adversarial and a micromanager.
On Tuesday, Aragosa kicked off his political campaign to unseat Koetzle this year, in a pivotal race in a key battleground municipality that will determine the balance of power on a 5-member governing body where Republicans currently hold a 3-2 majority.
The 57-year-od Aragosa, who is running with incumbent Town Board member Michael Godlewski and Jenny Lippman, a political newcomer, said he is running to give people a choice.
