The changes would also ease some rules for existing restaurants, including limits tied to the number of tables. The Zoning Commission could vote as early as late October. ]]> Connecticut Police Council Urges Traffic Camera Changes /local-news-stories/002510cbd4d9d7fd440b8683a32bfdd8 Tue, 29 Sep 2026 02:59:19 -0500 /local-news-stories/002510cbd4d9d7fd440b8683a32bfdd8 Connecticut’s police standards council is recommending changes to the rules for speed and red-light cameras.
