One option for a slug line in that area will be the new commuter lot to be built at the interchange of the Franconia-Springfield Parkway and Backlick Road. We need to check with VDOT to see if it's still on the books.

The Backlick Rd (at the F-S Parkway) commuter lot project is still on the books. [:)]

From the VDOT website pages, it appears VDOT called for bids in late 2006 and then reported several bids received in late January. Looks like this project (# 7900-029-363) started in 2004. There's no info at the VDOT website about a contract award.

For anyone interested in seeing the plans for this commuter lot, go to http://www.virginiadot.org/projects/nova/fairfax-rt7900BacklickRd-parkandride_PubDisplays.asp , and then click on the "Color Display" link.

Thanks for the information on the Backlick Rd lot. I actually noticed yesterday that trees in the proposed area were cut down...perhaps a sign that work officially started. However this doesn't really address the Lorton slugging question.

Agree that it wouldn't be a good option for Lorton.
I should have clarified that this F-S Parkway lot might be an option for the "Bob's" line if that line had to shut down and for those who would like to slug from the Springfield Mall area. raymond had mentioned an option needed other than "Bob's" for those that tried and were unsuccessful to get a line going at S'Mall.
