Can anyone tell me what time Tackett's Mill Lot is filling up these days? Since Horner Road is no longer an option for slugging into the Pentagon(filled before 6:45), and DC/Gemini lot is too far out of the way for us, we're looking for another option for him to slug into the Pentagon.

The 123/95 lot is a viable option, but no one has seemed to be willing or open to the idea of starting a PNT slug line there. These days at 123/95, for him it's either the bus, or the bus. Not a lot of options. [:(]

We're hoping the re-adjusted bus schedule for Rosslyn/Ballston run will be more accomodating to our schedules and give him another option. Or maybe, just maybe interest will surface for a PNT slug line at First Baptist.

Any input would be most appreciated. Thanks a bunch!

Tackett's Mill main lot is full by around 7:45 am and the lot next to McDonald's is full by 8:30 (if not a little earlier).

For Rosslyn slugs, the new First Baptist Church commuter lot might be a great place for a new slug line! PRTC is going to add a bus stop there from the Rosslyn bus schedule.

Another option slugs have been discussing is adding multiple new lines at the 123 lot: Pentagon, Downtown, Rosslyn, and Crystal City. In fact, one slug called it the "123 Catch All" because the 123 lot could be used as an overflow that is used after the other lots are full.

More to follow!

Admin-
Thanks so much for this info. I've passed it along.

While having a "Catch all" line at 123/95 for the folks who go in later (say, after other lots are full) is GREAT, we're having a hard time finding a PNT slug line for the 'earlier crowd' (before 7:15 am). We have to get one off to HS, and one off to daycare. So getting to Horner (for example) before it fills up these days isn't working. I stay back until the HS bus runs (in case of problems), and hubby does the daycare run (near Featherstone Square). We checked out the Gemini lot, and it's not a practical location for us. [:(]

If you hear rumblings for an early PNT slug line at 123/95, keep us in mind. In the meantime, we'll keep Tacketts Mill in mind for early slugging capabilities.
