Narrative:
Small aircraft X was issued clearance to land on runway 7L by local controller. I was working ground. I heard small aircraft Y on my taxiway alert the local controller that small aircraft X was about to land on taxiway a. Go around instructions were issued in landing flare. Approximately 60 known aircraft have landed on this taxiway in the last 18 months. The airport manager has determined that additional marking is unnecessary. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: the reporter stated there have been 2 more unauthorized taxiway lndgs since he filed this report. On 1 occasion, an aircraft had to leave the taxiway to avoid collision. This situation has been reported to facility management, airports division western pacific region, and city airport manager with no action on any of their parts. The airport management did repaint the runway numbers.
