quote: i just do not get this. the mall has earmarked 950 slots for commuter cars. according to an article posted here on another thread, they are now seeing 1300 cars parked in their lots each day. 350 cars more than allowed. and you think it's wrong for them to enforce the blue line bounderies? don't be angry at Potomac Mills for closing the slug lines when parking is full. blame those extra 350 people who can't follow the rules. |

allow me to copy and paste my reply in a like topic here started by Kathy R...
quote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Originally posted by Kathy R [My proposal: 1) Boycott the mall. Encourage the boycott by put fliers on the parked commuter cars stating the poor treatment of the riders and drivers. 2) Move the lines at a certain time (ie 8am) to Potomac Circle (the road that surrounds the parking lot) so we can continue to be dropped off and we have a place to be picked up with out the harassment that we have been getting. 3) Signed petitions given to the PWC council, our representatives locally and nationally, to the Mall and environmental advocates. 4) Contact newspapers and tv to publish what is being done. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You have GOT to be kidding me. A private corporation has donated 950 parking slots for commuter use 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year, and you are complaining that they aren't contributing enough when they enforce the rules laid down for use of those parking spaces? Frankly, I'm surprised that all of those spaces didn't go away when the Simon Property Group took over the Mills. You can bet your bottom dollar that their legal department wanted them to do so, due to liability issues. But to their credit, Simon kept the lot open, as a show of good faith as a community parnter, and you show your gratitude for their generosity by trying to stage a BOYCOTT? Yeah, you go ahead and do that little thing. Put fliers on cars (urging a boycott of the mall they are currently patronizing fer God's sake!), sign petitions, complain to your county supervisors about how mean they are being to you, and ALERT THE MEDIA!!!!! Let's see just how long it takes for those 950 spaces to go to ZERO spaces. Now I finally understand what my daddy meant when he said my uncle could screw up a free lunch….. (full disclosure - i have no vested interest in the Potomac Mills slug lines as we only drop off at Horner 5 nights a week, and i have no interest in the Mall except the money i spend there). |

In recent weeks the Management of Potomac Mills Mall has left pamphlets on cars stating that on 16 June 08 they would enforce the "blue line" parking limits for slugs (the line dividing slug parking from customer parking), by towing the cars of sluggers. However, this morning, they "closed" the lot, turning away even those that were "dropped off" to get rides, leaving slugs stranded and not allowing drivers to even pick up. This is extremely petty. The mall is surrounded with adequate parking and most slugger's cars are out by 5pm & never there on weekends. I'm certain most of the customer traffic in the mall is after 6pm weekdays and during weekends. Since many sluggers are also customers, I invite all to join in a Boycott of the Potomac Mills Mall. I encourage all to write the mall manager and especially the Mgr of each shop/store you frequent to get their support. Please join in sending/dropping off your letters and help pass the word to others. Thanks - "Slug-On"
