The Bossier City Council voted 6-1 to deny a rezoning request for a new chiropractic clinic on Benton Road, citing severe traffic safety risks. Dr. Steven Winnenberg had sought to convert a residential property into a professional clinic, but the proposal met opposition from neighbors in the Old Green Acres subdivision.
Traffic Safety Concerns
Residents expressed fear regarding the intersection of Benton Road and Douglas Drive, which they describe as increasingly hazardous. Data provided by the Bossier Police Department supports the residents’ claims, showing a significant increase in accidents at the corner of Benton and Douglas.
The council’s decision to block the rezoning prioritizes neighborhood safety over business development at that location.
