📰 News we're reading

• Connecticut once ran on trolleys. Now it's trying to undo a century of car-first planning (thehour.com) — Wilton is among several Connecticut towns pursuing transit-oriented development, part of a broader statewide push to cluster housing, jobs, and amenities around train and bus hubs. The effort aims to cut car dependence, ease housing costs, and revive downtowns by making communities more walkable, bikeable, and connected by transit. State funding, new planning roles, and major projects in places like Naugatuck, Stamford, and New Haven are driving the shift.
