Woodbridge, Va. –– New commuter parking spaces will bring new bus stops for OmniRide commuters.
OmniRide commuter buses that serve Rossyln and Ballston will be rerouted as of Monday March 14 to serve those who park in the newly acquired 370 parking spaces at the First Baptist Church of Woodbirdge near Minnieville Road and Prince William Parkway.
Commuters will now be able to catch the bus at a stop across from the church on Minnieville Road.
Another stop will be added on Minnieville Road, just after Elm Farm Road, in the turn lane at the church, said Potomac and Rapphannock Transportation spokeswoman Christine Rodrigo.
But with new bus stops old ones have to go away.
OmniRide buses will no longer serve stops certain stops along Prince William Parkway, at Malta Street across from BJ’s Wholesale Club, before Sonora Street near BJ’s Wholesale, at Golansky Boulevard and at Telegraph Road.
PRTC says new printed schedules reflecting the change will be made later this spring.
The move comes following Potomac Mills mall’s massive reduction of commuter parking spaces on Valentine’s Day.
Prince William officials last week announced a $288,600 deal to rent 370 parking spaces from the First Baptist Church of Woodbridge for one year.
*This story has been corrected to reflect only buses that serve Rosslyn and Ballston have been rerouted.
