Road Plans Over Trulli Hill Spark Vote Debate
A town hears competing petitions to ease the steep Trulli hill on the Andover to Lawrence route. One plan winds around the hill to a 3.8 percent grade by extending Andover road to Trull brook then crossing to Lawrence road. another favors the direct Lawrence line with heavy fills. The elder petition asserts lower cost and better grade though longer route, while opponents claim direct routing is shorter but costs more. A second petition requests two roads on different terms. the hearing will weigh expediency and expense.
