VIDEO: Commuters Frustrated with Potomac Mills Lot Reduction

, the impending loss of 725 commuter parking spaces at Potomac Mills Mall has commuters worried.

Currently, David LeBlanc, the coordinator of Slug-Lines.com is trying to reorganize slug lines in wake of the Potomac Mills decision. LeBlanc has posted two options on his website, but a group decision should be reached Saturday.

Residents and commuters had the opportunity to voice their concerns at a commuter town hall meeting

The meeting reinforced the message that there are ten commuter lots in the Interstate 95 corridor that can accommodate the extra commuters. Lots that have been identified as areas with significant capacity for commuters are:

1.     Route 123 and I-95

2.     Dale Boulevard & Gemini Way

3.     Minnieville Road & Harbor Drive (no bus service)

4.     Dale Boulevard & Hillendale Drive

5.     Dale Boulevard & Quate Lane

Lots that have some capacity to accommodate displaced commuters include:

1.     Exeter Drive near Route 234

2.     Dale Boulevard Kmart near Gideon Drive

3.     Cherrydale Road & Dale Boulevard (Good Sheppard church)

4.     Route 234 near Stockbridge Drive (Montclair area)

5.     Rippon VRE Station at Rippon Boulevard & Farm Creek Drive (no bus service)

In January, Woodbridge District Supervisor Frank J. Principi made the announcement on his website that the mall was going to drastically reduce the number of parking spaces in order to accommodate for more retail space.
