On July 1, 2026 at approximately 4:15-4:30 pm I was driving on Robinson Rd. A silver Chevy Silverado passed me in a no passing zone. They continued on and were easily going 30mph over the speed limit. I caught up to them at the intersection at Robinson and Tunnel Rd. They were behind another car at the stop sign. When we all 3 turned on Tunnel Rd towards Lake Lemon, the truck proceeded to again pass the car in front of it in a no passing zone on a BLIND HILL. A car came over the hill just moments after the Chevy got over and the next vehicle to come over the hill was a School Bus.
This Chevy Silverado had a municipal plate - 108206
I hesitated to report this immediately because I lassumed they were responding to the Lake Lemon drowning. But now that I read the drowning was not real, I feel that this should be brought to this person's supervisor. The truck did not appear to have an indication of what agency it was from just the municipal plate. They had no sirens or warning lights. This driver could have caused a fatal accident easily, especially passing in a no passing zone on a blind hill with a school bus coming going well over the speed limit. However fast this person felt they needed to get to the site of the drowning emergency, it is not OK to drive like this especially without lights and sirens.

Would you consider a retaining structure for the gravel under the bridge on B-Line between Moravec and Fairview? It's often spilling out onto the trail

Yet another U-Haul truck was torn open this evening at the Adams Street railroad crossing. This happens so often that it's become a running joke in town. What we need is an overhead crash bar that provides immediate, physical feedback to drivers before they collide with the bridge. See, for example, this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aUXCUEFzKFA. It would need to be installed far enough ahead that we wouldn't need to worry about railroad property lines. But even if we did, I'm sure this is one thing they'd be happy to cooperate with us on.
