Longer-form draft.
At the June 15 Select Board meeting, the board heard extensive public comment on CSX's proposal to remove an out-of-service bridge. Residents raised specific concerns about emergency response times, pedestrian routes to schools and downtown, and the absence of any written agreement for future replacement or access. The board declined to approve an expedited removal and instead directed staff to complete due diligence on ownership, easements, historic status, and alternatives, with additional public meetings to follow. All formal votes that night were unanimous, including a change to town office public hours effective July 6. https://meetingwatch.org/nh/exeter/select-board/2026-06-15/ #MeetingWatch #ExeterNH
