The Dane County Fair will provide the background from the annual Green Drive Expo this weekend.

“When we first started this thing, we called it Hybridfest, but it’s always been more than that," said Eric Powers, founder of Green Drive Expo in a news release. "There are so many options for green ways to travel from point A to point B, some of which don’t even include cars, such as biking or public transit."

With hybrids, plug-in hybrids, electric cars, compressed natural gas vehicles and bio-diesel cars on hand, attendees will learn all about green. The event caters to green drivers and those interested in green transportation in general.

The drivers of two vehicles travelling westbound on the Beltline were engaged in a road rage incident that resulted in a rollover Wednesday afternoon, according to the Madison Police Department.

Police said a 64-year-old Madison man began hitting his brakes when he felt he was being tailgated at about 2:40 p.m. The driver of the car behind him became upset at the braking and sped up to pass, police said. The driver then attempted to cut in front of the first car, striking the front bumper with his rear bumper, police said. 

The driver of the passing car lost control and eventually rolled over on to the shoulder of the highway, police said.

No one was injured in the crash.

The driver of the passing car was cited for improper passing, police said.

The Wisconsin Department of Transportation said a public information meeting will be held on July 12 to discuss the improvements to the County PD (McKee Road) with US 18/US 151 (Verona Road) intersection in Dane County.

The meeting will be held from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Fitchburg Fire Station #2, 5415 King James Way in Fitchburg.

The proposed project will reconstruct the County PD (McKee Road) with US 18/US 151 (Verona Road) intersection. The project will include adding an additional left-turn lane to the County PD (McKee Road) eastbound and westbound intersection approaches to minimize existing congestion and mitigate future construction traffic for the upcoming Verona Road Interchange project. Construction is scheduled for 2012.

The public is invited to attend the meeting, provide input and ask questions concerning this project.
