CONWAY — After hearing about safety concerns from Echo Acres residents, selectmen on Tuesday directed staff to pursue closing Route 16 access to Dunkin Donuts and 99 Restaurant in North Conway.
Echo Acres Road, a residential neighborhood containing about 40 households that ends in a cul-de-sac, is located between the above-mentioned businesses on the west side of Route 16, directly across from AutoZone.
