Is this at the Mine Road or McDonald's lot? I didn't see any sign this morning at the McDonald's lot but then it was kinda of rainy and I may have missed it standing in line.

Coming Soon
Staffordboro Boulevard Commuter Parking Lot
(Route 610/Garrisonville Road)
Project Overview
The primary purpose of this project is to add 1,000 parking spaces to the existing parking lot facility at Staffordboro Boulevard in Stafford County, and to improve circulation and safety conditions for vehicular and pedestrian users.
The proposed project would also add left and right turn lanes on Staffordboro Boulevard and add a roundabout at Juggins Road.
Project Details
Additional goals of this project include:
• Making infrastructure improvements to the surrounding roadway system to avoid traffic congestion created by the increase in vehicular traffic.
• Avoiding or minimizing impacts to the existing wetland.
• Improving connectivity to and from Staffordboro Boulevard and Juggins Road.
Notable features of the design include:
• An elliptical five-point roundabout at the northwest entrance connecting Juggins Road, Doc Stone Road and Moncure Lane to the parking lot at Entrance Drive.
• A total of four vehicular entrances into the parking lot facility. One at the roundabout, and three at Staffordboro Boulevard.
• Access for school buses from Staffordboro Boulevard through the site.
• Informal carpooling, or "slugging," pickup and drop off areas will be located in each parking lot. Each slugging area can accommodate as many as 30 people and 4 vehicles.
• A bus bay that can accommodate 4 buses.
• Maintains access to the municipal water tower.
• Provides a pedestrian sidewalk along Staffordboro Boulevard, and pedestrian access to bus bay area.
• Utilizes low impact development techniques to meet stormwater management requirements.
• Improvements to Staffordboro Boulevard to improve access to the reconfigured parking lot facility
