Town Supervisor David VanLuven had this to say about the great work Highway Superintendent Marc Dorsey is doing alongside the Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee:

"There are now “see me” flags at the Kenwood Ave crosswalk in Slingerlands (by the rail trail parking lot). Our Highway Dept put these out in in partnership with the Town’s Bicycle & Pedestrian Committee. The approach has worked well in other places, as the more visible pedestrians are, the more frequently drivers stop for them.

During our daily driving, it’s easy to forget how many crosswalks and pedestrians we have in Bethlehem. Let’s all try to be more courteous and stop when someone is trying to cross."

​The Bethlehem Democratic Committee condemns in the strongest terms the hateful and homophobic statements made by Republican Albany County Legislator George Langdon.

We call on Legislator Langdon to immediately apologize and resign, and we call on our Republican colleagues to join us, to break their deafening silence, and to condemn his statements.

​Hate has no home in Albany County.
