Woodbridge, Va. –– Officials will hold a commuter parking town hall tonight in to update residents on the shrinking commuter parking situation in Woodbridge.

More to the story: Use our interactive map of commuter lots in the Potomac Communities that could provide a you a parking alternative to the Potomac Mills mall commuter parking lot.

It’ll start at 7 p.m. at the Ferlazzo Government Building at U.S. 1 at and Cardinal Drive.

Supervisors Frank J. Principi and Mike May will take questions from commuters who will be forced from parking at Potomac Mills mall, which last month announced they would decrease the number of commuter parking spaces there by 75 percent starting Monday.

“This meeting will be a chance for people to ask questions and for us to update them on what we are doing to find additional parking for commuters,” said May.

There is a proposal on the table to rent spaces from the Woodbridge Baptist Church off Minnieville Road, so commuters may be able to park there and Slug or take transit to Washington and points north.

A final decision on that option has not been made.
