San Jose - Morning traffic West and Eastbound on Hostetter Rd (Mabury Rd) has been terrible in the past 10 years as far as I can remember. I noticed the construction of Costco right next to the San Jose Post Office main office over the summer while I returned home to San Jose. My immediate thoughts was the expected, increased bottleneck of the streets trying to get to the supermarket giant. To my surprise, however, the traffic algorithm seems to have improved allowing more traffic. I give the Costco construction green lights where I can purchase food for less and cheaper gas. Other local supermarkets better change gear in what they offer, otherwise I see a potential Costco takeover coming soon.
