Pentagon sluglines for P. Mills/Horner

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

   Folks -- I'm wondering if it isn't time to split the P. Mills/Horner line into two lines @ Pentagon under the new pickup scheme.  The reason I bring this up is that even more than when we were at the "old" location, traffic really stacks up in a hurry as drivers wait for slugs for a particular destination.  For example, if there is a large number of PMills slugs, but the first couple of drivers are looking for Horner and there are PMills drivers further back, it isn't obvious to those (the PM drivers) *who* the folks in front are waiting for.  If the lines were seperated, it would be immediately clear and I think facilitate traffic flow at that chokepoint (as well as reducing tempers from perceived line jumping).

	  What do you think?  If I see a strong response in favor, I'll work up a suggestion to the Pentagon POCs for consideration (which means it will probably happen about the time I rotate out of this job[}:)])

	 - Will
