Woodbridge, Va. –– Commuters in Woodbridge and Dale City will have a new place to park next month following the reduction of commuter parking at Potomac Mills mall.
Prince William County has inked a deal with Woodbridge Baptist Church on at Minnieville Road and Prince William Parkway to lease 370 parking spaces for commuters to use.
The deal should be final within the next few days and will cost county taxpayers an initial annual payment of $288,600, which will be reimbursed by the Virginia Department of Transportation, said Prince William County Transportation Department Director Thomas Blaser.
Commuters may begin using the new lot March 14.
The announcement comes one day before Virginia Transportation Secretary Sean Connaughton is scheduled to make an announcement about commuter parking in eastern Prince William County.
Sources say Connaughton is expected to announce the agreement with the church, and the addition of 600 additional commuter parking spaces on Telegraph Road, near the Horner Road commuter lot at Prince William Parkway and Interstate 95 – the state’s largest commuter parking lot.
On Feb. 14, Potomac Mills mall reduced the number of commuter parking spaces it allowed residents to use by 75 percent, from 1,000 to 275.
While commuters bound for Washington still use the lot, those bound for Arlington and the Pentagon were told to park at a commuter lot in Dale City, on Gemini Way.
