In a time of high gas prices and concern for better, more efficient travel plans, this petition is for the Lebanon Public Safety Committee to change Memorial Drive to allow traffic in both directions.

Residents who live on Wolf Road are subject to an inefficient and inconvenient travel arrangement when they drive to work at the DHMC, shop at the Centerra business center, or visit Hanover. Currently, the residents of Wolf Road must do the following: Drive all the way down Wolf Road and turn onto Old Etna Road; Continue on Old Etna Road and turn onto Heater road (which become Mountain Support road); After an extra 0.65 miles of driving, plus the extra time involved, pass the entrance to Memorial Drive enroute to there destination. It is a wasteful use of time and resources to live at the top of a hill, drive down the hill, and then drive back up the hill before making any progress in traveling for work or pleasure.
