No. 17 · Week of October 20 – October 26, 2026

Morning, East End. We have preliminary work set to begin Monday on the Cranberry Hole Road bridge in Amagansett, and the Star calls it "but slowly." So paper's head says patience. We will be watching the permit sheet with coffee and side-eye. To the sheet.

303 filings hit the public record this week. 253 in Southampton and 50 in East Hampton. Bridgehampton topped the sheet this week, 42 filings.
