Traffic Study Requested Near Proposed Methadone Clinic

Sarnia council has asked staff to study the traffic flow on Vidal St. near Confederation St.

The decision was made after council decided to table a rezoning application for 373 Vidal St. S.

City staff have said a methadone clinic is proposed for the commercial site, but owner Henry Mehta, says he's just applying so a physician can practice on his property.

Irene Flory, who owns a neighbouring residential rental property at 354 Vidal St., didn't buy Mehta's claim and presented council with a petition expressing many concerns, including more traffic.

Sarnia councillor and Lambton County Warden Bev MacDougall suggested enlisting a coordinator, to help oversee and manage where these facilities go, could aleviate some of these issues in the future.
