Like most Northeast Richland citizens, I am excited that a new Sam’s Club will open in the Village at Sandhill, but I would like to know what the traffic plan is.

Two Notch Road, Forum Drive and the four-way stop sign at the intersection just inside the village are congested at rush hour and weekends on good days. I hope there is a plan before the looming traffic nightmare becomes a reality.
