Vehicle parking emblems (aka “stickers”) are required as of May 15 for entrance to the Compo Beach parking lots.
Because of COVID-19 limitations, emblems will be available for Westport and Weston residents only. No daily parking passes will be sold. Parking will be limited to 50% capacity until further notice, from 8 a.m. too 8 p.m. daily.
Longshore parking regulations also take effect May 15. The Old Mill lot remains open for residents of Old Mill and Compo Mill Cove only.
If you purchased emblems in prior years, you have an online account established. Click here (or here, then choose “Memberships”; in the search box type “Vehicle”).
All parking emblem purchases must be made online, and will be mailed within a week to 10 days.
If you forgot your login and/or password, email recreation@westportct.gov or call 203-341-5152,
Parks & Recreation officials may require a copy of your current vehicle registration and/or additional proof of your Westport/Weston residency.
The latest victim of the coronavirus is Westport’s Fine Arts Festival.
The summer event — which this year had moved to an earlier, less-than-broiling May date, from its longtime mid-July slot — has been postponed.
The sponsoring Westport Downtown Merchants Association will announce a new date soon. That will be welcome news to the 170 fine artists who display their art, photography and sculpture — and the thousands of visitors who flock to their booths, and enjoy live music, great food and family activities too.
Next Saturday (May 9, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., railroad station parking lot across from Mystic Market), the Westport Police Department Benevolent Association hosts a PPE collection drive.
But it’s not for them.
They ask for unopened and unused items like gloves, masks, gowns, face shields, hand sanitizer, bleach wipes, etc., as well as monetary donations. All supplies collected and money raised will benefit front line health care workers at Westport EMS and Norwalk Hospital.
Funds are also being raised through a GoFundMe page. Click here — and thank you!
The good news from Staples High School keeps on coming.
Thanks to an outpouring of support from the community, the boys lacrosse team delivered 1,000 items of food and cleaning supplies to the Gillespie Center yesterday — along with a $1,000 check for Homes With Hope today. These guys are winners on and off the field!
And finally … Phil Collins released this is 1981. Nearly 4 decades later, the first line says it all.
