📰 News we're reading

• Advocates propose preserving Bedford wildlife corridors (therecorder.org) — Bedford officials are weighing new zoning and conservation rules that would formally protect mapped wildlife corridors while updating lighting and fencing laws across town. If adopted, the changes could reshape how subdivisions are designed, how bright outdoor lighting can be, and what kinds of fences are allowed, all while aiming to preserve open space and animal movement through Bedford's neighborhoods.
   

• A quarter century later, memories of World Trade Center attack remain vivid (therecorder.org) — Northern Westchester residents, including a Bedford mother, share searing memories of Sept. 11, from frantic commutes and school disruptions to desperate attempts to reach loved ones at the World Trade Center. Their stories, rooted in Katonah, Yorktown, and Bedford, show how the attacks reshaped daily life here and why the anniversary still feels intensely personal 25 years later.
