quote: The police are patrolling pretty regularly, as apparently some folks are sorta being blocked in by illegal parkers. They are calling and complaining. If folks would just use a little consideration when they are parking, being careful not to block others - I doubt there'd ever be a cop out there. The PWC will not discriminate - if they have enough tickets to hand out to every illegal parker when they are out there, they will. |

emancilla,
It is amazing that this lot reaches capacity with its 2200 spaces. I will email VDOT to see if they have any plans to expand this lot but even if they do, it would be a very long term project. As for illegal parking, I do know that the PWC police department intends to begin stricter enforcement. They didn't state exactly when, but I assume in the very near future. |

I am a tv producer for a Washington, DC news station. I am currently working on a story about commuting and slug lines. We are going to be at the lot on Thursday morning and would like to interview a few sluggers about commuting issues (parking, how easy/or not it is). Anyone interested?

Does anyone know if VDOT is considering making the lot larger?? I used to get to the lot by 7:00, but now am closer to 7:30, and the lot is almost full then, with people parking in "illegal" spots already. Kinda frustrating, but I guess it is a popular lot. I'd put in a call to VDOT if I thought it would help....

will that shuttle bus be free? Otherwise, I'll prefer to walk.

Jim,
Good one. Since enlarging the lot would make it a long walk for some, we could have a shuttle bus circle the perimeter taking slugs to their lines, just like disney! Cheers, Glacier |

"Build it and they will come"
When the new lot was finished, it was mostly empty every day for the first year. Now more people use than there are parking spots available. ...maybe VDOT should make it BIGGER. LOL |
