Residents ask Exeter to restrict local streets during overlap with nearby detour; town will consider the request
Summary
Neighbors asked the town to limit traffic to local trips during a two‑week overlap with a separate roundabout detour; Public Works Director Steve Kron said the overlap is expected and the town will "make note of the concern and see what we can do."
At least one resident urged the town to restrict detour traffic through School, Garfield and Union during a two‑week overlap with a nearby roundabout detour, citing safety concerns for children when school starts. "If you restricted the use of our streets that you're working on to local traffic... the neighbors would love it," the resident said.
Public Works Director Steve Kron acknowledged the concern and said the town expects about a two‑week overlap between the roundabout detour work and this project. "We can certainly look at restricting that area to local traffic," he said, while noting the primary detour route will remain on Lincoln and Gale Streets.
