Type of Work: [Other] If Other, please specify: [public works vehicle] Name of Contractor/Utility working: [Other] If Other, please specify: [Public works- Plate: MB 186] Date when this occurred: [05/21/2025] Time when this occurred: [07:30] Please specify details.: [Const states via contact form: "At about 7:30 am I was riding my bike down Comm Ave at Packards Corner in the side lane that is dedicated to cars planning to turn or park, and bikes, when a large Public Works truck with two workers came barreling down the street at what had to be 40MPH. They started tailgating my bike, screaming obscenities at me, and nearly ran me off the road. When I let them pass, they stopped at a trash can about half a block up. I rode past and said, "Hey guys, this is a slow lane!" They erupted at me. I stopped and turned back, and they said every swear in the book at me and told me to get off the road because they had a job to do. I honestly can't even remember everything they said because at least one of them was speaking incoherently. I didn't smell alcohol or anything but being drunk is the only thing I can imagine for them to get that pissed off and be slurring their words in that incoherent way. It was a Latino guy about 5'10" with a full beard, heavy set, and a white guy about 5'8, with a 5 o'clock shadow, also heavy set (incoherent). I tried to take down the plate number, I believe it was "MB 186." Like I said I don't normally complain like this but driving dangerously like that and then acting the way they did just doesn't sit right in the community. If you could please follow up with me so I know this was read I would appreciate it."]
