Comment: I asked Mr. Howard, AAFES [Base Exchange] general manager, if it was possible to have a sign out on near the Dorchester gate displaying the current fuel price. With a sign at the corner, I'm sure you would get some business that is heading out the gate.

He replied with, "Thanks you for your suggestion. The base will only allow the fuel price sign to be positioned in the current general area."

Is there a reason that sign can't be moved? Thanks for your time.

Response: Our base civil engineers along with the Army and Air Force Exchange Service leadership have explored several sign options and determined the present location is the best location to advertise the current fuel price. The existing sign reaches the highest volume of daily traffic on base heading to the childcare, Base Exchange and Commissary areas. Relocating the sign adjacent to Hill Boulevard would potentially impede inbound and outbound traffic, create a visual barrier on Hill and would not comply with our existing sign standards. For that reason, the sign is best left at its current location.
