New stop signs

New stop signs have been installed at the intersection of Parsons Avenue and O Street, near the Navy Exchange (NEX), Parking Structure and Building 101 (Mordecai Booth's Pub). The intersection is now designated as an ‘‘all-way Stop.”

Violators of traffic and parking laws are issued tickets that can result in suspension of privileges for accessing (by vehicle) or parking at NSAW and other DoD installations for a period of up to one year.

Interactive Customer Evaluation

The Interactive Customer Evaluation (ICE) system allows customers to rate services provided by Department of Defense (DoD) offices and facilities worldwide. Last year 90 percent of 803 Naval District Washington customers responded ‘‘Yes” when asked, ‘‘Were you satisfied with your experience at this office⁄facility.”

ICE is a Web-based tool that collects feedback on services provided by various DoD organizations. It allows customers to submit online comment cards to rate service providers they encounter and it is designed to improve services by giving managers immediate feedback from their customers.

To access our customer evaluation page on the Internet, go to http:⁄⁄ice.disa.mil. Enter the service provider name in the search field or select the location on the map where you received services, then navigate to the service. Complete the comment card. For more information contact the ICE Site Manager at ice.ndw.fcm@navy.mil.
