   Is it just me or did anybody do their homework?  Call me crazy but the new lot on Telegraph is going to be worse than Horner.  The entrance is a few yards from the Canton Hill/Telegraph Rd light?  REALLYYYY!!![:(]  In any case, I think this new lot should be designated as a Rosslyn overflow lot.  The majority of Federal employees are moving from the Crystal City area so to me it only makes sense.  How do we get make a suggestion on how the lot is utilized?

	I think it's an extension for Horner Rd. Apparently Horner Rd. fills up before 7.00 most days. ------------------------- Times to beat: Horner Rd to/from Pentagon: 12 mins Without Slugs - 17 mins With slugs Dale City exit to/from 3rd St Tunnel, D.C. 18 mins (No slugs - Holiday)

	Since the subsidy was cut in half Horner fills up by 6:30 now, maybe 6:40 if you are lucky. It's CRAZY! [\|)]

If they'd open the gate and move all that construction equipment, people could park on it NOW... Honestly, how much does it cost to open a parking lot? How much time does it take? You don't have to do any engineering or order any supplies. Pavement is overrated. quote: Originally posted by lisad219 Since the subsidy was cut in half Horner fills up by 6:30 now, maybe 6:40 if you are lucky. It's CRAZY! [\|)] What subsidy?

	http://potomaclocal.com/2012/03/06/16078/ More Commuter Parking On The Way March 6, 2012 - PotomacLocal.com Construction of the new Telegraph Road Commuter Lot is underway in Woodbridge. WOODBRIDGE, Va. Construction of a new commuter lot in Woodbridge is underway next to the largest commuter lot in the state. Dubbed the Telegraph Road Lot, when its finished, the new lot will boast 700 commuter parking spaces and will sit next to the Horner Road Lot at Prince William Parkway and Interstate 95. The Horner Road Lot is the largest commuter lot in the Virginia with more than 2,300 parking spaces, making it popular with carpoolers and commuter bus riders. The new Telegraph Road Lot will be constructed in two phases and will sit on the old site of a commuter bus garage once owned by the Potomac and Rappahannock Transportation Comisssion, operators of OmniRide and OmniLink bus services. Prince William County officials in December awarded a $2.4 million contract to Tavares Concrete as part of the first phase, which will see 500 parking spaces constructed. The remaining spaces will added in the second phase of the project, according to county transportation officials. The parking lot comes after state and county officials last year announced several transportation improvements in the Potomac Communities. The Telegraph Road Commuter Lot was one of the identified projects. Prince William County Transportation Department Director Thomas Blaser said the first phase of the new lot should be open by Labor Day.
