First costco first proposed the idea of building a high volume gas station here at the wheatonwestfield mall five years ago. It was at that point that people who live around here and attend the schools around here at the Community Pool around here and she said they want nothing to do with that. This is the costco that is not causing problems but is proposing the gas station. People who live around here say they actually like this costco because its convenient but this all started with the Kensington Heights neighborhood. And they say it would be too busy to have a gas station around here near their homes because it would just be 118 feet from there. This is a popular costco store.
