Woodbridge, Va. –– When John Jenkins earlier this month said more commuter parking was coming to the Woodbridge area, the Neabsco District Supervisor may have been on to something.
Virginia Secretary of Transportation Sean Connaughton is expected to appear at the Prince William County Government Center on Thursday to make an announcement about commuter parking.
The notice comes after Gov. Robert McDonnell’s $4 billion transportation plan has cleared all necessary hurdles for him to sign the bill into law.
It also follows Potomac Mills mall’s decision to reduce the number of commuter parking spaces there from 1,000 to 275.
On February 7, sources told PotomacLocal.com that Prince William County stands to gain $200 million in the governor’s transportation plan, and that because of the influx of money the county would see orange cones and construction zones popping up all Prince William over the next five years.
Adding 1,000 additional parking spaces to the Horner Road commuter lot in Woodbridge with pedestrian access that crosses Telegraph Road, widening U.S. 1 in Woodbridge, building an interchange at U.S. 1 and Gordon Boulevard (Va. 123), and widening Interstate 66 in western Prince William County were all identified as priority projects to be paid for with the additional money, sources said.
