• Fairfield residents warned after bold coyote approaches people, pets (news12.com) — Fairfield officials are warning residents after unusually bold coyotes have approached people, homes, and dogs in the Mill Hill Road, Bronson Road, and nearby trail areas.

• Connecticut roadside cameras look alike. What they record is very different (ctpost.com) — Fairfield is among four Connecticut towns rolling out new speed and red‑light cameras from vendor Altumint, part of a broader statewide push to regulate automated traffic enforcement.
