GUILDERLAND — A Guilderland school bus was rear-ended by an F-550 work truck on Thursday morning on the Berne-Altamont Road.

There were about 10 middle school students on the bus when the bus driver stopped to pick up a student, according to Guilderland Superintendent Marie Wiles.

Guilderland Supervisor Peter Barber, in his 10th year as supervisor, spoke for about three-quarters of an hour at the town hall to a crowd made up primarily of town employees, whose work he praised along with the work of the town board.

“Don’t wait until, you know, the heavy equipment rolls into your neighborhood and then wonder what’s going on. Figure it out and get here,” said Guilderland resident Karen White, encouraging other residents to speak out on the proposed updates for the town’s comprehensive plan.

The Feb. 5 meeting had a packed agenda. 

Chairman Stephen Feeney recommended that planning board members come up with “a compilation of comments” as opposed to “trying to put together some formal recommendation.”
