re-entrant angle, exterior angle

My comment:

...re-entrant instead of an exterior angle.
I am certain of the re-entrant, nut not so sure about the exterior one.
Consulting an architect would be ideal for the second term. I might be "projection angle" or something like that, because outgoing does not seem right when I looked in context .
Best of lucks

I really think it would be said, an angle projecting into this end of the city. It would be made into a verb in proper English.
