Proposed Gas Station Causes Traffic Concerns

People in Quispamsis are fearing a bigger problem with traffic on Millennium Drive if a proposed gas station gets the go-ahead.

Alan Hart was one of the people who brought his concerns to Quispam council. He says with a seniors complex nearby, many fast food restaurants and other gas stations along Millennium Drive, the building of a new one would make traffic worse than it already is. He says maybe the station would be more beneficial in another location.

Mayor Murray Driscoll tells CHSJ news he recognizes there's a traffic problem in various areas of the town. He says council listened to the developer and objections, and has moved the project forward to the first and second reading. Driscoll adds often traffic issues get resolved during the developers agreement.
