Community Listening & Information Forum AFAP Issue Updates Directorate/Agency Updates
AFAP ISSUES (UPDATES) Issue 6 - Running trails are falling apart Scope: Makes it hard to share trails with the other units Recommendation: Refurbish the trails Issue Status: The improved trails and foot trails are cleared once a year. The drainage system does need work by LeRay Drive. It is not clear by the submission which trails are being referenced.
AFAP ISSUES (UPDATES) Directorate of Public Works Issue 5 - Mud and gravel around the buildings (CPAC) on South Post. Scope: Hinders access for people in general and those with disabilities, tracks gravel and mud into facilities. Recommendation: Pave the driveways and areas around and up to the doors Issue Status: The buildings in the 400 area can be relocated. It is planned that these offices will be moved to the old hotel once the new motel is opened. To pave this area is approximately a $400 million dollar project.
AFAP ISSUES (UPDATES) Issue 7 - Traffic Lights, Road Conditions Scope: Traffic lights are taking too long to change. Traffic Lights on Mt. Belvedere and Iraqi Freedom are to close in timing (2 submissions), Soldiers are doing PT and people are running red lights. There are near misses every day and the roads are full of pot holes Recommendation: The traffic lights should be re-timed and fixing of the roads should be done. Recommend that the major intersections have signs added. There are no signs to indicate where the gates are. There is no transition light at Enduring Freedom and Conway Road. Higher MP presence during PT hours at the Mt. Belvedere and Iraqi Freedom Issue Status: Six road construction projects are being started, beginning at Gasoline Alley. The signals are designed and timed for peak hours. An ongoing study continues to know where to adjust the signals.
