One word is synonymous with the Potomac Mills mall parking lot on any weekend: Jammed.
The retailing center today announced some changes to its parking lot:
The three new parking services include:
Veterans-Only Parking [Opening Wednesday, June 29th]
To honor the brave men and women who have served our country, Potomac Mills will have six reserved spaces for Veterans and their families. The spaces will be located near the main entrance of the mall.A ribbon cutting ceremony will be held on Wednesday, June 29th near the AMC theaters to officially open the spaces. Remarks will be provided by Marie Moore, Mall Manager, Potomac Mills.
For more information about attending the ceremony, contact Michael Timberlake ([email protected] or call 202-207-3659).
Weekend Valet Parking Program [Now Open]
For a nominal fee, valet parking will be available at the newly remodeled mall entrance next to the restaurant plaza. Hours of operations will be Friday (5 pm – 12:30 a.m.), Saturday (11 a.m. – 12:30 a.m.) and Sunday (11 a.m. – 11:00 p.m.).Expanded Commuter Parking Lot
As the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority’s (WMATA) SafeTrack initiative gets under way, more Prince William County residents are expected to be affected. To help ease the situation, Potomac Mills will be expanding its commuter parking lot to accommodate temporary parking for affected residents. The existing commuter lot will nearly double in size allowing more residents the convenience to park their cars and access alternative transportation routes.
Potomac Mills in 2011 reduced the number of commuter parking spaces by 75% to make way for the expansion that included Bahama Breeze, Cheesecake Factory, and Matchbox restaurants.
We did a lot of reporting on it back then, as the move riled commuters:
Fewer parking spaces got you bummed? You have options
Church Lot Flops, New Commuter Lot Picked
