Today's riddle: What is full of holes but still holds water? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. 3 Arrests Made After Stolen Car Chase In Rye: PD (patch.com) — Rye police arrested three adults and located a minor after a stolen car from Boston Post Road in Mamaroneck crashed into marshland near the St. Regis residences and Playland Access Drive. The suspects fled on foot, triggering a large perimeter search with help from neighboring departments, county police, K‑9 units, helicopter and drone support. Charges now include stolen property, criminal mischief, and endangering the welfare of a child.
2. New Measures to Improve Rye Traffic and Pedestrian Safety (myrye.com) — Rye's traffic and pedestrian safety chief Brian Dempsey explains how residents can report speeding, crosswalk, and e‑bike concerns and what changes are already underway on local streets. He details the Boston Post Road "road diet," new flashing beacons, school crosswalk priorities, and the temporary all‑way stop near The Osborn. The podcast offers practical advice and a clear roadmap for how Rye decisions get made.
