📰 News we're reading

• 490's Exit 27 partially reopens; drivers await end of construction (13wham.com) — Drivers from Pittsford and nearby towns are finally seeing relief as the eastbound I‑490 Exit 27 at Bushnell’s Basin has partially reopened after months of disruptive bridge construction. The $61 million project, replacing aging bridges over the Erie Canal and Kreag Road, will continue in phases through 2027, so residents should still expect lane reductions and slower traffic, especially during commutes.
   

• Brown University student from Pittsford ‘still in shock' after mass shooting on campus (wysl1040.com) — A Brown University junior from Pittsford, Roman Novy-Marx, describes surviving a mass shooting on campus and preparing to return home while still processing shock and grief. He recounts sheltering in the woods, texting terrified friends barricaded in a classroom he’d just tested in hours earlier, and joining campus vigils as the gunman remains at large.
