In response to your letter of 31 March (HRD--2), members
of our staff net with your representatives to explore
proposals for improved jogger safety. The thought of widening
the roadway through the Fairbank Highway Research Station was
discussed. However, there is no justification for this Agency
to seek funding at this time.
our representatives did see virtue in continued
coordination of mutual planning for site development as a way
of achieving incremental safety improvements. Therefore, we
will maintain contact with your representatives as our
planning proceeds.
Sincerely,
STAT

I have been concerned about the safety of the tremendous increase in
joggers on the access roads to the Fairbank Highway Research Station <
(FHRS). A solution may be to widen tEieweitisting access facilities
from Virginia Highway 193 through FHRS to the vicinity of the CIA
access gate at the George Washington Parkway to assure the pedestrians
have a discreet space and are not on the traveled way.
We have been informed by our Operations and Services personnel that
you have a plan for expanding facilities and improving access routes.
I would like to suggest representatives from your organization and
the Federal Highway Administration discuss the possibilities for
solving our mutual safety problem. May we hear from you on this matter?
Sincerely yours,
Lt
E. M. food

SUBJECT: Meeting with Federal Highway Representatives -
Jogger Problem
REFERENCE: Letter to DD/A from E. M. Wood, AA for R&D, FHWA, DOT,
dtd 31 Mar 82, Subject: Jogger Safety on Access Roads
to Fairbank Highway Research Station (DD/A 82-0160/5;
OL 2 1544)
1. At the request of Philip Bowen, Fairbank Research Station,
a meeting was held on 7 April 1982 to discuss the issues raised by
the reference. Present at the meeting were:
Central Intelligence Agency Federal Highway
J. R. Abernathy
Jack Basso
Tom Merlo
Philip Bowen
2. Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) representatives
stated that they were interested in avoiding an interagency
confrontation over the jogger issue. They were candid in stating
that the reference was prompted more by a need for funding to
resurface their roadway than concern for jogging safety. However,
all agreed jogging safety was a serious concern.
3. The visitors were advised of the results of our traffic
study and the ultimate conclusion that the Fairbank Highway Research
Station Road was not a problem in CIA planning. For this reason,
there is no justification for incorporating the funds they seek in
the Agency budget.
STAT
4. (briefly described actions that have been taken STAT
such as posting warning signs reminding joggers of road hazards. He
also outlined alternative actions being investigated to improve
facilities on the Agency compound.

5. It was agreed that the best response to the reference would
be to state that the two agencies have met and will continue to
coordinate plans in an effort to minimize the jogger hazards.
6. Additionally, FHWA representatives agreed to putt STAT
in touch with Department of Transportation (DOT) personnel
responsible for funding the DOT gymnasium and to provide a contact
in FHWA who would act as a consultatnt to the Building Planning
Staff on Virginia Highway's road proposals.
