For what it's worth, my 3-person carpool has been parking at Potomac Mills becasue we like the option to pick up slugs or slug back if someone is out. We plan to park at Dale City and I'd like the option to pick up slugs to Pentagon or Rosslyn if needed. The 123 lot is just too inconvenient for any of us because of the bad traffic on 95 and Old Bridge to get back into the Montclair area.

Chris,
Thanks for the input. It appears as though the Dale City lot is the best option. Not perfect, but the best we have at the moment. I like your comments about being a carpool but using the slug lines too. Some people prefer traditional carpools but what if one of the three is sick,on vaction, etc. Slugs solves that problem! |

This week a lot of people got their cars towed away in Prince William Square and Dale City Kmart parking lot which I was told yesterday. People were getting off from work looking for their cars not knowing that their cars were being towed for illegal parking. Today I parked my car at the Dale City Lot. It was not crowded, everything was organized and it was closer to home. In fact, I even went and got a cup of coffee at Giant. Only the Pentagon,20th street, State Department slug line was there. For now on I will start parking my car at the Dale City Lot so I will not get my car towed for unknown crazy reasons. Hopefully you all do the same. I recommend the Dale City Lot. [8D][^]

hi. I agree. The Dale City lot is perfect. I am there bright and early and it is 3/4 way empty. I wish more drivers would come to this lot. I just don't know how this can be accomplished. Somehow we need to get the word out...I am going to continue to park at the lot.[:)]

I don't go in until nearly 8:30 a.m. - are there cars/slugs at the Dale City lot then? I work on 18th Street - but would slug into Rosslyn & take Metro then take bus home at night. I have to get my kids to school first.

Drivers normally take Dale Blvd. Most just take the 2nd split after the 1st dale Blvd exit ramp to go past Wachovia and popeyes. But I have had a driver go towards potomac mills and make a left on gideon then a right on Dale Blvd to avoid the off ramp traffic jam.

Bump.
How were the Dale City lines this week? Are there still a lot of people wanting to pick up for Pot. Mills only in the evening? Getting better or worse? |

Dale City lot this a.m. could have definitely used more riders (especially for CC), seems like lots of folks are willing to pick up there (I'm both a rider and occasional driver).
I personally have found the Dale City lot is the best option for me now that PM's been scaled back. |

So far, over the past two weeks, I have failed to find riders to Rosslyn only one day - Tuesday, 22 Feb after a reasonably long wait. I get there around 6:30 AM. The first week, I could find no riders back to DC Commuter Lot, but this week, I've picked up both days in the 4:15 - 4:30 PM time frame. Hopefully, we're getting some momentum going.
