When the Bob's and American legion lots fill up, are there any additional areas around to park?
Thanks! |

The Church on OKM next to American Legion has some spots but not many. I know people basically just park at Springfield Plaza in non-designated commuter spaces and wing it. I don't think it's much of a problem... **shhh***
Anyone know when the County will start construction on the new parking garage? See more here: http://www.bizjournals.com/washington/breaking_ground/2016/01/fairfax-county-advances-50m-plus-old-keene-mill.html |

Here's an updated article on the garage. Supposed to open in 2020. Hopefully the project is running on-time:http://www.bizjournals.com/washington/breaking_ground/2016/07/cost-of-springfield-commuter-garage-tops-63m.html

I winged it this week and parked in the non-commuter spots in Springfield Plaza, and they towed my car! So parking in these spots is definitely at your own risk. The other morning, I saw them putting Warning stickers in cars that were double parking in the commuter lots, so seems like they're starting to get stricter on parking.

Here's a list of lots, some of which are close to the current Bob's location to start potentially planning for the commuter lot construction.

This *may* be the most up-to-date info regarding the garage construction process via the fairfaxcounty.gov webste, as of April 20, 2017:
http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/fcdot/springfieldgarage.htm It might be a good idea to create a new thread specific to this project or continue with this older thread: http://slug-lines.com/forum2/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=13378 Would anyone like to share their thoughts on this, please? |
