Today's riddle: Why did the cookie go to the hospital? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• South Windsor Shuts Off Flock License Plate Cameras (patch.com) — South Windsor officials have shut off the town's Flock license plate cameras and ended the contract after a close Town Council vote, citing privacy concerns from residents. Supporters argued the readers helped solve crimes, while police say the devices are decommissioned but physical removal and data deletion still must be verified, making this a significant local policing and civil liberties issue.
• Fall 2026 Update for Bissell Bridge Rehabilitation on I-291 in Windsor and South Windsor (ct.gov) — Drivers in South Windsor should prepare for a long-term traffic pattern change on I-291 over the Connecticut River as Bissell Bridge rehabilitation continues through November 2027. Starting October 8, 2026, westbound traffic between exits 2 and 1D will shift back to two lanes with narrower shoulders, and motorists are urged to slow down and watch for ongoing construction.
• Woman arrested on DUI charge in South Windsor (newportdispatch.com) — South Windsor police arrested a Vernon woman Wednesday afternoon on suspicion of DUI after witnesses reported her stumbling while loading a child into a car near Chapel Road schools. Officers say she failed field sobriety tests with a juvenile in the vehicle, and she now faces charges including driving under the influence and risk of injury to a child, with court set for October 23.
