Melissa Cardoso Guerrero (right): Zoning approval "was kind of a challenging process."
Longtime early educator Melissa Cardoso Guerrero spent multiple months and $350 seeking zoning relief this past summer, with the goal of expanding her Fair Haven-based childcare center beyond her current six-child limit.
As of this week, childcare providers no longer have to go through that zoning board process in order to open up in a residential district — an effort to remove one barrier for those hoping to start, move, or expand a childcare center in New Haven.

Beam me up, YNHH.
High in the sky, two crewmen from CT Ironworkers Local No. 15 & 424 waited for a crane to haul in an enormous beam.
The workers started as motionless dots against the deep blue backdrop. As the beam neared, they went into action, harnessing each side and battling the wind to get the slab to click into place.
When it finally did, the external structure of the Adams Neurosciences Center at Yale New Haven Hospital was officially complete — eight years after concept, and two after groundbreaking.

(Updated) Seventeen-year-old New Havener Daily Jackson was walking on Shelton Avenue Tuesday evening when someone in a “suspect vehicle” shot and killed him and drove away — making him the second Riverside Academy student to die by gunfire in the past two weeks.
“These are connected,” Police Chief Karl Jacobson said at a Wednesday afternoon press conference, at which he described the two Riverside homicide victims as friends who belonged to the same “group” that has been feuding with another youth crew in town.
Tenants union leader Zach Postle tapes a pamphlet to Farnam's front door ...
... as union members and supporters rally for a collective lease.

The St. Luke's proposed $32M development ... before it lost its sixth floor.
A long-delayed Whalley Avenue redevelopment lost a floor — and saved $2 million, because of how much more expensive it is to build with steel and concrete instead of just wood.

Melvin Poindexter and Sylvia Cooper dug their shovels into a pile of dirt on an empty Hazel Street lot — and helped move the ground that they, and future generations of their respective families, will some day soon call home.
UNH student Priyanshu Agwal, who was struck and killed on Whalley in October 2023.
When Aman Agwal sleeps, his brother Priyanshu visits him in his dreams. Sometimes, he rides a scooter, the exact one that he was riding when he was struck and killed by a car — during a hit and run that, a year later, has resulted in an arrest.
“Sometimes he comes in my dream, and he just plays on his scooter,” Aman said during a Monday morning press conference at police headquarters. “I wish I could do something.”
