• West Haven to install noise cameras targeting loud vehicles along shoreline (nbcconnecticut.com) — West Haven is preparing to install four noise-detection cameras along the shoreline within the next month or two, targeting excessively loud vehicles that have frustrated nearby residents. Enabled by a 2024 state law, the devices will measure sound levels, photograph violators' cars, and allow police to issue citations, while city officials emphasize the system won't record conversations or personal communications.

• One New Haven carousel tells a much bigger Connecticut story (nhregister.com) — West Haven's Savin Rock carousel gets a nostalgic shout-out in a broader look at Connecticut's historic merry-go-rounds, sparked by storm damage to New Haven's Lighthouse Point ride.
