—————ReOpen Seawall Road————

Since the town settlement began in 1761, Seawall, (Southwest Harbor Maine),  has been and continues to be, one of the most beloved destinations of both locals and visitors from near and far. 

It is a quintessential part of Mt. Desert Island, as well as the very essence of those who live here. It is not just a  thru way, but indeed, a way of life…

This petition is a movement that requests the road to be reopened since its closure in February after a series of storms made it impassible for vehicle traffic. 

The issues its closure has caused are abundant. Instead of listing all of them on this forum, this petition simply requests that all, (both residents and visitors), who have interest in seeing this roadway returned to its former status, attach our names to its body, so our voices may be heard.

Perhaps  then they can reach the ears of not only the Maine Department of Transportation, as well as Acadia National Park administrators, but also the Army Corp of Engineers, that they then can work in tandem with not only each other, but also all who love it so dearly, that we may once again return to the quiet enjoyment that has existed long before any of us were here.

Please here our voices, and do what needs to be done, that this roadway may be restored, and the life that we have known, return, at least in part, to what it once was.

Thank you.
