Rehabilitation of Shady Grove parking garage to temporarily decrease parking spaces

The south garage at the Shady Grove Metrorail station will undergo a major rehabilitation project beginning Sunday, Sept. 16, resulting in the temporary loss of 150 parking spaces during the first phase of the 18 to 24-month project.

The garage rehabilitation will take place in phases and includes concrete, structural and drainage repairs of the facility, which opened in 1989. Throughout the course of the rehabilitation, 150 to 175 of the total 1,310 parking spaces will be unavailable to Metro customers.

Metro has placed signs in the Shady Grove south garage and in the Shady Grove Metrorail station to alert Metro riders about the impending construction work. Customers who are unable to find parking at one of the four parking facilities at the Shady Grove station will be directed to the nearby Twinbrook and White Flint Metrorail stations. At full capacity, Shady Grove has 5,745 all-day parking spaces.
