Kenny P. You are absoultly correct. Maybe VDOT/PWC should just pay PM a couple of bucks to lets us park in the back of the Mall. It would be cheaper all around.

We need to be organized about this. PM management has apparently forgotten that they are members of this community, too. There is a long history in this coutry of businesses doing more than they are legally required to, in order to be good corporate "citizens" of their communities. Here's what we need to do:
• Pledge to boycott any business that is built on or contiguous to the former commuter spaces, and ask your BOS rep to inform any businesses seeking permits for this area of this boycott pledge • Inform all existing Potomac Mills area businesses that you frequent, that you will start frequenting businesses closer to the area where you will now be parking, • Ask your friends and family members to join you in a community-wide boycott of all Potomac Mills shops and restaurants on VALENTINE'S DAY 2011, and • Pass this information on to every Woodbridge Area slug and rider you come in contact with, including riders now parking after 7:30 a.m. at the Tacketts lot, as this affects them, too. I have been handing out sample letters (addressed to PM Management with cc to the owners) and lists of PM businesses to all my riders for the past week and a half. On February 1, unless we hear about an alternate plan for commuters from PM management, I will start handing out fliers proposing a community-wide boycott of Potomac Mills on February 14, 2011. We need to show mall management that we are customers, too and that the entire Woodbridge community is incensed at the hardship PM management is imposing on members of this community. |

Expanding the Mall will creater more gridlock especially on the weekends. And going green mustbe the forefrontbefore expanding. Why are they not enough buses (Omnilink) for weekend travel to leave the cars home and why do the buses not run on Sundays.Maybe if PRC thought about this, that can get more people on the buses to shop and eat instead of driving or being forced to stay home on SUNDAYS!!!!!!!!!!! Businesses can fare better with connections from other parts of Virvinia and nearby counties. Why can there be a bus link (connecting the counties) to Lorton (Fairfax Connector) buses?
How about expnading Metro bus to the Mall and the rail to VRE?! New to Va. |

This is a response to an email I sent to Frank Principi. Please Everyone ATTEND THE TOWN HALL MEETING!!!!
What I don't know and want to find out is if Simon Malls and VDOT and/or PWC are in negotiations for lease revenue of this parking lot. If not THEY NEED TO BE until a permanent solution is found. This is a disaster waiting to happen. Thank you for your email concerning the commuter parking situation at Potomac Mills. This is an unfortunate situation, as I know these parking spaces are very convenient for many commuters. Residents rely on these parking spaces in order to use slug lines to get to work everyday. County Supervisor, Michael May and I have created a small workgroup to find solutions to this problem. We held a meeting with VDOT and county staff this week to address the need for more parking spaces. I assure you that this issue is not something I plan on sweeping under the rug and forgetting about. Supervisor May and I will be hosting a town hall meeting on February 8, at the Ferlozzo building auditorium at 7 pm.In the meantime, there are several lots in the county that are not close to full capacity. Replacing the Potomac Mills spaces with these lots is not ideal, but I assure you that we will look at other options to remedy this situation. You may view the entire list of commuter lots on the PRTC’s website at http://www.prtctransit.org/myprtc/service-updates/service_updates.php?docid=265. Thanks again for taking the time to email me. I love hearing from my constituents and finding out what is on their minds. If you have any other questions or concerns, feel free to call me at (703) 792-4646. Sincerely, Frank J. Principi |

Great idea. we need to keep reminding peope to attend this meeting and put presure on our elected officals. Also it would be great to get someone from the state government there as well. Maybe even VDOT.

Let's Boycott Potomac Mills. Then we can Boycott Target, Best Buy, Babies R Us & Bed Bath and Beyond, Prince William County Schools (specifically Garfield and any school near 95), Potomac Hospital, All the restaurants near 95 corridor, all the rest stops along 95, A couple apartment complexes near 95 and PWCPW, Marumsco Shopping center, Potomac Festival, and Prince William County as a whole.
For all of you that are into boycotting private properties, did I leave anything out that your wanting to boycott simply because of the location being private property? Lastly, let's Boycott the constitution and not allow people to own private property. |
