Okay, we're finally ready to go!!

Our first location choice is still being evaluated by Arlington County (they'd have to change the no-standing zone there), but we've decided that we don't want to wait anymore, so we've found an alternative spot: North Kent Street.

***Start date is Monday, October 20th.***

From the Metro, walk down Wilson Blvd (down the hill) and turn left at North Kent Street. The slug line will be about 100 feet ahead (to allow for a line of cars), starting at the speed limit sign. We'll put a poster there as well as at the Springfield/Burke lots. We'll put together a flyer and will post it here this weekend. Please print out a few copies and give them to fellow drivers/riders.

Nice work, Digithead. I can't wait for this line to get going. I'll watch for the flyers.

This will be double-heaven for the Rosslyn slugs and drivers. They've really fubar-ed the Pentagon lines and the traffic the drivers have to navigate to get to the slugs.

How do I get to the new slugline in Rosslyn from the key bridge?

I'm going from memory here, so please take with a grain of salt (I'll drive it myself in the next day or two to verify):

If you're driving, you go straight after the bridge onto Ft. Myer Drive. After 19th St, Ft. Meyer splits with the center two lanes going underneath Wilson Blvd, while the leftmost and rightmost lanes meet Wilson. Bear left and turn left onto Wilson. Cross N. Moore and N. Lynn streets. The next left is N. Kent. There is a traffic light with a left arrow. The slug line is 100 ft on the right side of the road (under the 25mph speed limit sign).

If you're walking (which a lot of people do in the summertime), follow the oncoming-traffic lane (the east side of the bridge). This puts you onto N. Lynn St. Turn left onto 19th St. Then bear right. This will dump you onto N. Kent St. The slug line will be about 150 yards on the left.

Digithead,
Are all the drop-off points between Old Keene Mill and Daventry? I leave Rosslyn at 4:30 and will definitely swing by to pick up riders.

We've left the destination up to participants. We expect that, like the Pentagon, there'll be call for all Springfield locations. According to the poll, I expect Rolling Valley and Sydenstriker will be the most popular.

Has anyone mentioned that they will be heading to the Kingstowne or Franconia/Springfield Metro areas as a possible destination? If so, I'd definitely join in!

Thanks.

Congratulations on getting this new line up and running. I drive past it every day on my way to the other Rosslyn lines. I see it's just like normal.. A line of cars one day, a line of people the next!
