Concern over new Sobeys location and traffic in Mount Forest

Council worries traffic issues worsened by new store location

 

Wellington North Council voiced their concern about the impact a proposed grocery store could have on existing traffic issues in the north end of Mount Forest.

The opinion was voiced at a public meeting on the issue last night.

There were representatives from Sobeys present who outlined plans for a new Foodland at Main Street North and Mount Forest Drive.

The store would replace the existing location.

The proposed zoning bylaw amendment needed for the project to proceed wasn’t voted on at the meeting but will be brought forward at a future meeting.

Full details of the proposed new location for the Mount Forest Sobeys available from the Wellington North website:
