TAMWORTH — Minutes after opening a public listening session at Tuesday's selectmen's meeting, chair Steven Schaeffer announced that the N.H. Department of Transportation had put the brakes on a proposed four-way stop at the intersection of Routes 16 and 113 in Chocorua.
Cheers and applause erupted from the crowd of close to 60 people, who had come to voice their opinions.
