    VICENZA, Italy (Sept. 20, 2018) - U.S. Army Garrison Italy Directorate of Public Works will be conducting a traffic study survey next month in Villaggio housing that will require some drivers to answer questions as they enter the neighborhood.
    “This is an important study to understand the road network outside of the Villaggio footprint as it will provide important data that can be used to measure the impact on our future housing and high school construction projects. We want to be able to quantify the impact and potential mitigations of these projects in terms the local community planners and citizens can understand,” said Bernie Kruse, deputy public works officer.
    According to DPW, the survey will occur over two separate periods.
    DPW has coordinated with DES to accomplish the survey. Drivers of vehicles entering Villaggio will be stopped to answer several questions on Tuesday through Thursday, Oct. 2-4. A second round of surveys will be taken two weeks later, Tuesday through Thursday, Oct. 16-18.
    Randomly selected drivers entering the gate will be asked to pull over by Security to answer the survey questions. It will only take a few minutes. Contractors hired to do the study will be asking the questions, not uniformed personnel. We hope everyone will take the time and answer the survey.
    In addition to questions regarding whether or not you are military, spouse, or civilian, the traffic survey will include questions about why you are entering Villaggio; the reason why you are arriving; how often you make the trip; and whether or not you would use public transportation or bicycle for this trip.
    Please plan on a few extra minutes getting to your destination on survey days. This may cause a delay of a few minutes. The data we collect is an important part of our Villaggio project planning.
