How Complicated Is ParkRTC? This Sign Says It All
A Reston resident snapped a photo of a poster detailing the different validating retailers and their associated parking garages.
RESTON, VA — Most of the criticism over the introduction of ParkRTC at Reston Town Center has to do with the end of free parking. But some residents are also not happy with how complicated the parking system is, and one sign posted at RTC shows just what they are complaining about.
Twitter account Restonian posted a picture (embedded below) of a sign detailing exactly which garages were associated with which validating restaurants for those who want to dine at RTC but don't want to pay to park. And it's quite the eye chart.
RTC manager Boston Properties has relaxed some ParkRTC restrictions, making it easier to park without downloading the app. However, the developer has no intention of eliminating the system entirely despite blowback from Restonians.
