Dhacim, this has already been covered.. you get there earlier, but there are still not enough parking spots for everyone who get there after you.

Say, a lot of us try to get there at 6am, and the lot is full by 7am. What about those who show up afterwards? Where will they park. Getting there earlier will not solve the problem of no parking spaces for those who can't get there earlier for a variety of reasons.

Where do you expect people that get to the slug lot after 7:30 to park? Anyone that has a problem with it would say go to another lot. But are you going to be the one giving me a ride back home? Are you going to be the one giving me a ride to work? I think not.

Now I'm open to suggestions but they have to be reasonable.

tdar-if I read your suggestion correctly, you were suggesting above that those who show up to the lot late and cannot find parking should pick up slugs instead. Where are those slugs that you're supposed to pick up going to park? If no one can park, no one can ride. I understand what you were saying, but it's a logistic impossibility. Unless I mistook you, then never mind me! Sounds to me like the only real solution is to bug the snot out of the folks responsible for building the commuter lots and get them to expand the lot. Good luck to y'all...

I got to Horner around 8am this morning (Friday), and found plenty of parking spots. I'm glad I didn't have to park on a stripe today. :-)

I'm in my second dream at 6 AM. Come on now. Most people work day don't start until 8:30. Why do I need to be in the parking lot at 6 AM if I don't need to be at work until 8:30. Get real here. my day starts at 8:30 to 5:00 . not 6 AM to 5. Don't love my job that much to give them a extra 2 hours of my life.



I suppose then you just have to deal with the left over parking spots then dont you?

Mirangus, the line for 123 is located on 14th and New York Av.

I agree. I am one the folks who come in to Horner from Fredericksburg. I live very close to the Rt. 3 lot; however, because the slug system is not well-defined (or convenient - I will not go to the Pentagon in the evenings to get back to the lot), I go up to Horner. I really dislike Horner, but it's got the best system going for me, except for Hechinger's, which is farther away.

1. As was previously mentioned, maybe a slug zone at Rt. 123.
2. Build P&R lots at locations further south with access to the HOV lanes, and institute slug zones at these locations. This would benefit folks who come all the way to Horner for the ride.

Anyone care to add to the list?

emancilla-where is the line for 123 (afternoons)?
