The New Hampshire Bureau of Highway Design will hold a public informational meeting to discuss Route 4 safety improvements at the intersection of NH Route 107 and North Road in Epsom. The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, April 28, at 7:00 pm at the Epsom Fire Station, 1714 Dover Road in Epsom.
The purpose of the meeting is to present "concepts to improve safety and gather input from officials and the public in order to ensure that project decisions meet public transportation needs and community goals, and protect the environment". In other words, to see if a traffic signal will improve the safety of the intersection.
This is the final step before approval of a traffic signal in that location. While three of the four Epsom representatives have been supportive as has Senator Barnes and many Epsom residents, there is also opposition from residents who, not having to turn onto Route 4 from North Road, see no need for the signal.
How you can help: Even if you have sent emails in the past or attended the previous meeting, it is important to continue to stay active. If you can attend the meeting, please do so. If you cannot, please send another, or your first, email to maureen.mann@leg.state.nh.us stating your reasons for supporting the project. Encourage others who use the intersection to do the same
