New 19th and I St. Slug Line

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Can this new line be used by those who need to go to Bob's? I also read on the home page that the Bob's line was going to be moved to the parket lot in Springfield Plaza. When will this happen? I think it would be a great idea so folks don't have to cross Old Keene Mill Road which is becoming more and more dangerous. 

	Thanks.[8)]

	Since this is a new line make sure to have a sign in hand that has either RT 610 or MINE Rd/Stafford on it. 

	Also, this is really the most important part, the line forms after the break in the road on 19th street closer to Penn Ave. Currently there are 3 VDOT barrells on the side of the street where the riders should stand. Stand in between the 2 trees just after the VDOT barrells. Once the riders go out to the spot, these instructions will be clear. If you DO NOT stand in the correct spot with your sign, you could be over looked by drivers thinking you are either waiting for the METRO bus or a van pool.

	It is 19th and I st., normally few people are waiting at this spot. Thank you. Please also refer this homepage of this website (left upper corner- nearly).

	aflores - you can catch a ride back to Bob's at 19 & F. Check the Afternoon Slug Lines section on the front page. Don't know about the morning line moving. Guess that all depends upon when the Circuit City is load.

	uh, that last sentence should read: Guess that all depends upon when the Circuit City is SOLD. Rumor has it that Kay Jennings is buying the lot.

	Is this line working? Reason I ask is because the occasional slug or driver comes up to 19th and F looking for a Woodbridge line. I'd hate to refer them to a line that doesn't work (well).

	DC2RV, Don't know about 19th and I, but 19th and F does not look too promising either. Today, GWU put up a fence closing off the sidewalk along the dorm being renovated. Not much space before you get to the turn lanes at 19th and E. Tonight could get interesting.

	How mush use does this slug line get? I'm heading down to Rt. 610 just after 4:00 today and am wondering whether I stand a good chance of finding any slugs at 19th & I. Thanks!
