Town officials are moving ahead on a replacement for the Jesup Road bridge. The small span — an important link between police headquarters, the Library and Levitt Pavilion, and Imperial Avenue — has been closed since the September 13 rain bomb.
Bids on a replacement design will be received through 11 a.m. October 28, at the Town Hall finance office (room 313). The Request for Proposal covers engineering and design services for the replacement bridge, including surveys, hydraulic analysis, environmental review, design, permitting and bid support.
Bids will be opened at 11:30 a.m. that same day, via Zoom. Interested parties may apply for access by emailing bwatson@westportct.gov.

“We recognize the importance of restoring this connection as quickly as responsibly possible,” says 1st Selectman Kevin Christe.
“We are moving engineering, permitting and funding forward in parallel wherever possible, with a focus on delivering a replacement that is safe and more resilient.”
Public Works Director Larry Roberts adds, “The replacement needs to be designed for the larger storm events and hydraulic conditions we are experiencing today.
“By coordinating engineering, permitting and agency review from the beginning, we can work to shorten the overall project schedule while ensuring the new bridge is designed appropriately for the site.”

Since the September 13 storm, the town has worked with federal, state and regional partners to identify opportunities to expedite the replacement and pursue available funding.
Town officials are also evaluating whether a temporary bridge or other interim access solution could safely and responsibly restore the connection while the permanent replacement moves forward, including whether such an investment would be financially prudent.
Officials say that Emergency Medical Services conducted test routes under emergency conditions, and found that the bridge closure does not significantly affect response times.
The town is monitoring traffic patterns, and evaluating potential adjustments to improve traffic flow and access while the bridge remains closed.
The Board of Finance will consider a $172,500 appropriation for design and permitting on October 7. Representative Town Meeting (RTM) Finance, Public Works and Transit committees voted unanimously Tuesday night to recommend the appropriation to the full RTM, subject to Board of Finance approval.
The full RTM could then consider it at a special meeting before its regularly scheduled November meeting.
This is not the first time “06880” has hailed Ruben, the beloved Westport post office clerk. And it probably won’t be the last.
Jill Haymes writes:
I wanted to take a moment to recognize Ruben from the post office at Playhouse Square for going above and beyond to help a customer.
I came into the post office with a large, bulky box I wanted to send to my parents in Florida. Because of the size of the box, I was told it would cost $33 to ship.
Ruben asked me what was inside. When I said it was a blanket, he suggested a much less expensive way to send it. He took the blanket out of the box, carefully folded and rolled it, and found a large mailing envelope that would work.
The result? My shipping cost was cut in half: just $16.

There was a line behind me, so I initially felt badly about taking up additional time. But Ruben didn’t seem bothered at all. He simply took the extra time to find a better solution.
He wasn’t just doing his job — he was looking out for his customer, and making sure I wasn’t spending money unnecessarily.
It’s little acts of kindness and going the extra mile that make a difference. Ruben is truly an unsung hero. I want to make sure his thoughtfulness and excellent customer service don’t go unrecognized.

That’s because they know tomorrow is October 1. And that means dogs are allowed back on Compo Beach!
The next 6 months belong to the dogs. But remember:
Dogs are prohibited from the pavilion, playground and walkways.
All dogs must be leashed, except for the off-leash area south of the pavilion (including South Beach).
Pick up your pup’s poop. It’s the law! (With a $77 fine.)
Remember too: dogs are not permitted on town athletic fields or playgrounds at any time.

After months of debate, lights on the Wakeman and PJ Romano athletic fields will come to a vote on Monday.
The Planning & Zoning Commission meets (October 5, 6 p.m., Zoom) to render a decision. The public portion of the meetings has ended; this will be a work session.
The public can weigh in, however, on a separate agenda item: a text and map amendment that would permit outdoor eating areas, and the sale of alcohol for on-premises consumption, in districts like the one that includes Old Mill Grocery & Deli).
For meeting materials click here, then scroll down to 222 Hillspoint Road and Food and Beverage Planned Development District.
Wakeman, one of 2 fields considered for permanent lighting.
Speaking of Old Mill Grocery & Deli: Romanacci’s — operators of the business — said goodbye to the community last night. Dozens of friends and customers — from the neighborhood, and far beyond — enjoyed food and drinks, courtesy of owners Graziano and Maurizio Ricci.
They opted not to renew their lease of the iconic market. They enjoyed their time, and did not lose money. But they’re turning their attention to a new restaurant, opening soon in Darien.
The last night at OMG.
Soundview Empowerment Alliance — owners of the 107-year-old building — are in talks with potential new operators. Though OMG is now closed, they hope for a fairly quick reopening.
They hope too for a positive vote from the Planning & Zoning Commission on Monday, on a text amendment that would permit outdoor dining, and the sale of alcohol (see item above).

Does our beloved American flag unite us today? Or does it divide us?
That’s the question explored by a wide variety of citizens in “Flagged,” a documentary co-written and directed by a woman who lost her firefighter husband on 9/11.
It will be screened October 7 (5:30 p.m., Earthplace amphitheater). The event includes snacks and beverages, a guided conversation after the film, and an appearance by singer Suzanne Sheridan.
Dr. Christina Cipriano is earning notice with her latest book: “Be Unapologetically Impatient: The Mindset Required to Change the Way We Do Things.” It is a guide for creating meaningful, urgent change in the lives of children and families.
On October 20 (7 p.m., Westport Library), Westport Together hosts her, for a talk. Her work advances inclusive and equitable social and emotional learning research, practice and policy worldwide.
Parents are invited to an “interactive, neuro-affirming conversation focused on helping neuro-divergent children build self-understanding and self-advocacy, while also fostering healthy communication, connection, and understanding among siblings.”
The event (October 22, 7:30 p.m., Pizza Lyfe) is sponsored by NeuroMind Services x UniquelyMothering.
Mah jongg is the star of local author Marsha Temlock’s latest novel.
“Monday’s MahJongg is a Mystery” will be published this month. Like her previous work, it features 4 women who bond and support each other while playing the popular game.
Anna — one of the Monday players — is desperate for a family after multiple failures to carry to term. Her husband is unwilling to donate his sperm, so she appeals to her fellow players to help her find a donor.
To what degree are her friends willing to violate their conscience to help Anna realize her dream of motherhood? What secret is Bert harboring that makes him opposed to helping the wife he adores? Can the weekly mah jongg game withstand the revelation of secrets that shatter and tumble when play begins?
And finally … the item about a flag documentary (above) got us thinking about flags.
Then of course there is this classic, for every flag, all over the world:
(Does our flag unite or divide us? The jury’s out. But it’s clear that “06880” brings Westport together. If you like being part of our online community, please click here to support our work. Thanks!)
Westport is a town of teardowns and new construction.
“06880” reports often on both.
But there are still plenty of historic homes. For decades — centuries, even — owners have cared for them lovingly, restored them beautifully, and adapted them to today’s life.
On Sunday, November 1 (12 noon to 4 p.m.)., you can tour 5 of Westport’s most classic — and coolest — houses.
Our 4th annual “Historic Homes of 06880” tour — presented with our friends at KMS Team at Compass — is our most impressive yet.
We’ve added a 5th home to our usual 4. We added an extra hour too.
We’ve found 5 remarkable properties — from Greens Farms and Long Lots to Compo and Old Hill — that will prove that history lives, architecture is stunning, and our neighbors are very creative folks.
As you explore all 5 houses, you’ll learn the stories behind each one. Homeowners and docents will point out highlights of each home. You’ll get a brochure giving added background and info too.
Tickets are $75 each, $100 for 2. Proceeds help fund “06880”‘s work — which, as always, chronicles Westport’s past, present and future.

And now … 2026’s “5 Historic Homes of 06880.”
311 Greens Farms Road
This house was built in 1790 by Peter Jennings. It passed later to Edwin Jennings, the first commercial greenhouse owner in Green’s Farms, known nationally for his pansies. It was the home of 4 generations of that family for more than 150 years, until its sale in 1948.
A later owner, Allan Pifer, was president of the Carnegie Corporation. He renovated the handsome fireplaces.
The present owners purchased the home in 2018. Working with Rocco DiLeo, they added an addition, connected by a narrow wing that includes the 14-inch white pine floorboards in the original home. Upstate they found reclaimed exposed timbers, complementing the post and beam timbers in the original home.
The owners were extremely conscientious, restoring almost every aspect of the home. With all original details replicated — including gas sconces — the architecture, scope and warm charm is enhanced throughout.
Moving from the lovingly maintained original portion, into the well-designed addition, highlights the seamless blend of 1790 and 2026 life.
One of the most recognizable houses in Westport — on the Turkey Hill North/Long Lots Road corner, opposite St. Luke Church — this was built between 1788 and 1799. by the famous Burr family.
It was an inn and tavern, then given as a wedding present by Daniel Burr to his son Jonathan and his bride. It passed later into the equally famous Banks family, who owned it through 1920, and served for a while as a farm.
The current owners have restored other antique homes. They fell in love with the scale of the house. They renovated the oversized kitchen (originally a barn/shed for crops). The post and beam architecture is spectacular; the pine floors are original.
Fireplaces throughout are reminders of the days when they warmed the entire home. The one in the dining room features a very rare wood lintel. There are 7 bedrooms.
Outside, the current owners restored stone walls. Perennial gardens have bordered the property since the 1920s.
In back, the 19th century barn was redesigned as space for the owners’ parents.

History bursts from every part of this 3-acre property.
The Tudor Revival was built by Charles Cutler more than a century ago for the president of Dun & Bradstreet. He designed (among others) the Patagonia building downtown (now the Compass office), and Greens Farms Elementary School.
Previous owners include actor Frank Gorshin (The Riddler on “Batman”), and billionaire Marc Lasry. The current owners have spent 3 years restoring the home and the grounds.
The stone walls are 2 feet thick. The 9 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms include carvings of Latin sayings and animals. There is even a room where the chauffeur could pull in and wait (he was not allowed anywhere else).
The grounds are as magnificent as the interior. Landscape architects Beate Hochman and Emilio Mandujano discovered and resurrected long-lost gardens, statues and fountains. A new farm building includes chickens and ducks, with a koi pond nearby.
The “9 Hearths House” was built around 1791 by Noah Nash. (Fun fact: It actually has 11 hearths.) A famous later occupant was Daniel Webster. While living there, he created Westport’s Minute Man monument.
But Nash and Webster are not the only famous names to own this special property. The current owners are Mo and Jen Tooker — she is Westport’s former 1st selectwoman, now running for state comptroller.
Original wide wood plank floors and ceiling beams remain throughout the oldest section of the house (now the main living area). A mudroom and breakfast room were added in 2013.
The Colonial Revival received a Historic District Commission Preservation Award in 2014, for “meticulous care of the property.” Living space has been updated for a modern family, while the antique character of the house is felt everywhere.
This home was built in 1855 by Rufus Bennett. His family dates back to the Revolutionary War; they watched the British march by on their way Danbury. It passed into the hands of Rufus Wakeman, a member of another famous Westport family.
In 2002 the house was saved from demolition. Realtor Jill O’Shea spent years fully restoring it. The current owners have re-designed this Victorian farmhouse, making it work well for themselves and their 2 young children.
Highlights include chestnut flooring, an exposed brick fireplace, a custom kitchen, gas lanterns, front porch and bluestone patio with a fire pit, enclosed by mature specimen trees and a perennial garden.
It is a great example of a home that’s a true antique outside, while inside it supports a modern lifestyle. The interior maximizes well-laid out, compact space. Hidden storage is key.
The current owners also renovated a carriage house/detached garage into a fully compliant accessory dwelling unit. It too is on display, as a thoughtful modern use of historic space.

Westport resident Kathleen Weiss died peacefully on Thursday, with her family at her side. She was 84.
The New Jersey native graduated from nursing school at Saint Francis Medical Center. She moved to Westport in 1975 and worked as a nurse at Norwalk Hospital, the Westport public school system, and for several home healthcare companies.
She returned to school to earn her bachelor’s and master’s degrees at Sacred Heart University. She later taught home healthcare at Western Connecticut State University, retiring recently.
Kathleen was a devout parishioner at Saint Luke Church for 51 years. She taught catechism, was a lector, assisted with charitable efforts, and attended Mass without fail until she was physically unable.
Kathleen married Timothy Weiss in 1965. They enjoyed dancing at the Fairfield County Cotillion Club, Gaelic American Club, and wherever else the spirit moved. They traveled widely, and especially enjoyed their time in Ireland and Italy.
Kathleen is survived by her husband; sons Timothy Jr. (Laura Barron-Weiss), David (Tracy Karlbergs) and Matthew Weiss; grandchildren Adele, Watson and Kathryn; step-grandchildren Thomas Barron and Gabrielle Barron; sister Ann and brother-in-law Thomas Weiss; brother Joseph and sister-in-law Virginia Smith, and brother Leo and sister-in-law Kathleen Smith.

In January 2024, a thunderclap headache in Los Angeles — 3,000 miles from home — sent John Duffield, a 43-year-old healthcare marketing executive and former triathlete, to the hospital with a brain bleed.
He’s a Southport resident; his children went to Christ & Holy Trinity Preschool, where his wife Janet teaches.
Within 6 months John went from “the healthiest person I knew, to a man recording goodbye videos for my wife and children, set to send automatically. Just in case.”
John spent his career helping global brands innovate, most recently with artificial intelligence. When his life came apart, he used those tools to survive.
“What it did astonished me,” he says.
“It answered at 2 a.m. when the fear was loudest, and covered the hours no clinician could. I was living inside a preview of what care will look like for all of us.”
The workup uncovered a heart defect he had been born with: a bicuspid aortic valve, a severe leak, and an aortic aneurysm.
John Duffield
Six months later, a valve-sparing procedure, repairing John’s own valve instead of replacing it. Twenty days later, a leaking mitral valve put him back on the operating table for a second open-heart surgery.
What followed was 43 nights across 3 health systems: atrial fibrillation and a cardioversion, fluid drained from his lungs 4 times, a staph infection in his chest incision, a debridement, and 6 weeks on a wound vac.
Janet slept on fold-out benches and recliners, tracked every medication, and caught errors in his transfer paperwork. She was his caregiving lifeline.
John used AI to decode reports, prepare questions for his doctors, weigh whether to risk a 3rd open-heart surgery, and explain his condition to his children. He filmed it all as it happened.
Recovery brought discoveries of its own. AI surfaced a possible link between his brain bleed and his heart disease. Genetic testing at Yale found an inherited variant associated with elevated cardiovascular and cerebrovascular risk.
In June 2025, a dangerously slow heart rhythm caught on stage in Chicago led to a pacemaker.
Now, John is releasing “The Future Patient.” It tells the full story, with a foreword by his surgeon, nd dozens of QR-linked videos recorded from the ICU bed to the hospital rooftop.
The book’s launch takes place in New York City tonight (Tuesday), 5:30 p.m.), near Grand Central. It includes fellow heart patients and colleagues from health, life sciences, advertising and technology. The conversation will focus on where patient care is heading, and how to make the patient experience clearer for everyone who comes after us. Click here for details.
Timing is everything. Last week I suffered a major email hack — and a harrowing identity theft.
Which are 2 great reasons why this podcast with Sam Disraelly is so timely.
Not to mention, vitally important.
After careers in the military, and working with firefighters and 911 dispatchers, Sam found another way to help people.
He founded Your Tech — a 1-stop cybersecurity firm that is the gold standard in the field.
Sam is creative, passionate, and whip smart. He knows how to stalk and beat the bad guys. And he did it all without making me feel like I was the dumbest creature on the planet.
If you use the internet at all — and by reading this, you do — you need to learn as much as you can about cybersecurity.
