No Parking No Where
By kenya on Jun 13, 2006 in Daily Commute
I missed the 8:30 bus this morning. As I walked down the steps it drove by. I decided to drive to the metro station instead of waiting half an hour for the next bus. I passed the bus in my car but still couldn’t catch it because there is nowhere to park on the way to the metro station. At the metro station, I go to the first garage and drive all over the entire thing and there are at least 30 reserved spots that are open and nothing else. It was the same in the second garage – only reserved spots (plenty of them) were open. I didn’t even try the overflow lot. I drove back home and caught the 9:00 bus. I can’t imagine what parking would be like at the Vienna station when they get rid of the temporary lot and build condo city. I don’t see how anyone thinks that building these condos will reduce the number of people driving to Vienna metro. The only way that it would is by reducing the number of parking spots which means these people are going to be further congesting 66. I seriously doubt that any of the people who currently drive to Vienna metro would move to these condos. Like everything else they will be overpriced and the people who live farther out live farther out because they can get more for their money. If anything, the condos will most likely attract those who live closer in to move farther out since the condos will be metro accessible. That would further congest the metro – and trains already leave Vienna packed (like sardines) during the morning rush.
