28 Apr 2012: Housing Gate

Comment:  144 Housing Gate - will there be a west bound turn lane in the project that DPW has planned for later this year?

Answer:  02 May 12 - No, left turns are unsafe at this intersection unless a signal is provided, and a signal is not included in the project.  The project will provide deterrents against the numerous illegal u-turns that currently occur in the borning between 0800 and 0900.  Instead of making u-turns, Soldiers from the housing area need to use their secondary entrance into the 4IBCT or Gate 3 (rather than Gate 5) to enter the main cantonment area.
