“The city’s interest in these early discussions has been in keeping the number of parking spaces on this site at a minimum because we do not want a lot of vehicles accessing this use,” Wilson said. “This is intended to be a transit arena, a transit operation, that’s why we invested in a Metro station.”

The toll should help along with the increase parking fees.
Wilson said the new Potomac Yard will have a “significant net reduction” in parking spaces at the site.

“The intent is to ensure that we do not have people beyond a small core accessing this by vehicle,” Wilson said. “We will continue to push to keep parking at a minimum.”[/b]

The fact remains is that the roads around PY are already highly saturated. For Wilson to have any support by city residents, he knows that this is a huge issue - probably the most important one.  Widening Rt 1 is not an option. The only option is making sure public transit is strong. You gotta metro in, fans. Leave your Yukons at home.
