This might help. According to a May 2009 posting on this b'board, Mr. Thomas was helpful the last time a concern popped up about parking at Springfield Plaza. Here's the contact taken from that post: Mr. Mark Thomas - Staff Aide to Chairman Sharon Bulova office - Fairfax County Board of Supervisors. His phone # is: 703-324-2321
He might know who you should to contact. [:)] |

Thanks SluDgE for the info. I called the Fairfax County Board and left a message. Looks like they are closed for the holiday today. I also called Rappaport property management (571-382-1290) and sent them a message. It looks like they are closed today too, but according to their website, they are the managers of the entire Springfield Plaza Shopping Center, which I would assume includes the commuter lot. I'll let everyone know if I hear anything! :)

I just received a voice message from Faifax County. It appears that the snow plows are clearing the commuter lot at Springfield Plaza. There will of course still be limited parking because there are not many places to pile snow, but there will be parking available tomorrow. As far as the Circuit City lot where the line is, I'm not sure if it will be clear by tomorrow.

Circuit City lot (Springfield) was plowed on the 15th and we were able to meet in the lot this morning.

The 610 Mine Rd lot is in pretty rough shape. I'm guessing that around 20% of the legal parking spaces (and 100% of the illegal or "creative" spaces) are covered by snow piles. Some areas, like the southern-most row towards the east side have simply not been plowed, losing that whole row of spaces.

I agree, the 610 Mine Road lot is horrible. Folks are parking anywhere, anyhow. If your not there before 6:20, your at a loss.

While the 610 Stafford lot is plowed, almost all of the perimeter spots on the gravel are snow piles along with about 20% of the regular parking spots. At 6:45 today the lot was full with cars circling looking for spots. I had to put it in 4WD and park up on a snow bank.

Mine Rd 610 lot was better this morning. A lot of plowing was done overnight towards the southeast corner of the lot.

Communters at the 610 lot beware, yesterday over 30 cars were towed from the Best Buy parking lot at a cost of $125.00.

Just got the following from Herrity's office in response to an email I sent about getting the Sydenstricker lot cleaned up.
******************************************************************** I know this lot is well-utilized by many commuters. The poor sluggers are having a hard time of it after this storm, apparently the Hunter Village Drive line is having problems with snow mounds limiting parking too. It turns out this lot is owned by VDOT; I will contact Renee Hamilton, Assistant District Administrator for NOVA and ask if she can have additional clearing done in the lot.
