   ReluctantCommuter, I agree with you 100%. Traffic in the 234 lot has gotten worse since Monday. Thanks Rhonda_Sluggin_1995! If you are a member of your Homeowner's Association, I pray I don't live in your neighborhood.

	One of the more irritating things about living in this area is the relatively high percentage of control freaks who can't leave well enough alone and dream up some brilliant plan and believe it is somehow their moral duty to impose their ideas on everyone else. What's the problem?! The current (pre-Monday) system works just fine! The appearance of these signs created a lot of confusion and a safety hazard this morning�the woman in front of me nearly got sideswiped by an impatient driver trying to get past the clogged lanes of traffic. Why is it necessary to disperse the slugs throughout the parking lot to satisfy some lunatic�s obsessions with control and order? Whoever executed this moronic scheme should please return to the lot and pick up what's left of your rubbish signs and bamboo sticks and overturned pots of dirt, and then maybe go home and draft up some new grass-height specifications for your homeowners association or re-arrange your shoes or do whatever it is you need to do to still the voices or fill the void, and leave decent, honest, hard-working commuters alone! Geeze!

	According to http://www.slug-lines.com/AM_Lines/dumfries_road.asp, the Dumfries Road Slug Line only goes to Pentagon, 14th & Constitution, 14th at Commerce Dept, 14th & New York, 14th & F Street, 18th Street (?), and L'Enfant Plaza. When did we add Crystal City and Rosslyn? Is the Map of Locations up-to-date? [?]

	Not a bad idea but folks will have to pick it up quick as the signs will likely be promptly removed by the PWCPD.

	Rt. 234- Dumfries NEEDS TO BE ORGANIZED--Taking too long for pick-up! Hey Family... Time to get organized now that the expansion is complete. Let's work together to save everyone time and frustration. Summer heat is coming fast. Not rocket science here...we can follow the model from the Horner Road commuter lot as follows: Starting on Monday morning, 14 June 2010, please begin to form lines in the designated rows as you drive into the lot. Look for the colored signs. Flow of traffic...may need some modifications later, but for now, after slugs climb into the car, bear left to exit the commuter lot as you are currently doing from the Pentagon pick-up. 1st lane. Pentagon pick-up line (near bus stop) Remains unchanged. 2nd lane. ALL Washington DC riders pick-up line. (Note: You should still clarify/negotiate final destination point before entering car.) 3rd lane. Crystal City pick-up lane. 4th lane. Rosslyn pick-up lane. Should be quick, orderly, and save us all a lot of time, confusion, and morning stress...wait until you get into the office for that. A fellow DHS slugger and I (driver) plan to have temporary signs put up by Sunday night to get us started. P.S. OK PEOPLE...Let's be safe and UNSELFISH. SLOW DOWN and BE PATIENT while exiting. It's a change and (some folks...no you of course) will be confused until the new "lot pick-up patterns" are understood and adopted. Thanks, Rhonda SJ
