BARTLETT — Almost a year ago, Bartlett Selectman Gene Chandler complained to the New Hampshire Department of Transportation that the road striping in the Intervale flats section of Route 16 caused the travel lanes to be too narrow for a state highway.
Last May, he noted, "There's no way a tractor-trailer can stay within the lanes the way they currently are. It's dangerous the way it is now, and that's the bottom line. I certainly hope the problem is quickly corrected."
