Westfield’s Oct. 28 Board of Public Works agenda included a $76,500 American Structurepoint proposal to review the traffic study for a proposed Costco near 191st Street and U.S. 31 and examine the broader 191st Street corridor to Moontown Road. The city’s posted proposal allocates $10,000 to the Costco review and $66,500 to the corridor study. Current Publishing reported that the board approved the agreement. The engineering work will assess traffic forecasts, intersections and possible road improvements; it does not approve Costco’s requested rezoning or store access.
