因新开设的美沙酮诊所，和当地的卫理幼稚园，因在同样路段设 置入口，而导致当地交通阻塞。 他是于日前，在和武拉必区州议员王丽丽前往当地查访后，发现 有关路段非常狭小，尤其在上午高峰期，幼稚园家长和造访诊所 者蜂拥而至时，巨大车流量让该路段更是不胜负荷。 因此，他决定拨出7千500令吉，做为开通有关诊所行人道和另设 入口的费用，以期能够分流当地公路使用者，解决交通阻塞问 题。 “我们在和医院讨论后，决定把原本设置在上述路段旁的入口， 移往居林路前，而原本的入口在新大门开通后将永久关闭，以解 决双造共用道路而导致的交通阻塞。” 他是到有关诊所移交拨款后，向记者这么表示。 ■沈志强拨款予大山脚医院福利及体育俱乐部，由王丽丽陪同。 美沙酮诊所也是大山脚医院的其中一个诊疗部门，他们是于今年 11月开始推出有关服务，唯，当地仅有一个路口进入诊所和幼稚 园 ，导 致 当 地 交 通 问 题 不 断 。
