2. Greenwich Is Not Using Flock Cameras, Camillo Says (patch.com) — Greenwich First Selectman Fred Camillo is reassuring residents that Flock automated license plate reader cameras are not installed on the town's public roads, though at least one neighborhood has chosen to use one privately. He explains the distinction between controversial Flock cameras and Greenwich's speed cameras in school zones, which are part of a pedestrian safety plan under state review before reactivation.
   

3. 6-Story Residential Development With Affordable Housing Proposed In Greenwich: P&Z Docs (patch.com) — Greenwich residents may soon see a six-story, 176-unit apartment building replace four existing multifamily buildings on Western Junior Highway, with parking for about 200 cars. The proposal, now in pre-application review before the Planning & Zoning Commission, includes affordable units under Connecticut's 8-30g statute and would require a special permit due to its height and density.
