Prince William County also has a long-term solution to the parking shortage in the I-95 corridor. The county is currently designing a new 600+ space commuter parking lot on Telegraph Road, opposite Horner Road. The lot is expected to be complete in fall 2012.

I assume the busses will continue to pickup/discharge passengers in the original lot, and slugs will line up in the current locations? Are there plans to move the slug lines to the new lot?

Press says that PRTC bus currently serving the FBC parking lot will continue for now. However, as the least is terminated, commuters cannot park there, hence no slugging at FBC

Yes, I parked there this morning (July 12th). It is a closer and an easier walk from the new lot than from the one next to McDonalds. With the new lot you don't have to cross the streets of Harbor Drive and Minnieville.

Horner gets filled up before 7am. Will this new lot provide some relief to Horner?
