More on the church parking issue, you say? Today we find the Washington Times reporting that some Logan Circle residents are fuming at what they see as a concession to the neighborhood’s powerful churches, a day after D.C. Mayor Anthony Williams put off enforcement measures and instead appointed a taskforce to study the matter. After close to a year of complaints, city officials promised to start enforcing the city’s double-parking laws on Sunday, going as far as to add 77 new permanent and 78 Sunday-only parking spots along Vermont Avenue to accommodate churchgoers. A racially tinged protest on Sunday in Logan Circle seems to have scared off Williams, though, who decided to delay enforcement until late August so as to better study the problem. Conveniently enough, Williams only really has to ride out his job until September 12, the day of the District’s Democratic primary.

This Day in DCist: On this day last year, we debated what RFK should be renamed, we welcomed a new District law protecting large demonstrations and we saw the first attempt to merge the D.C.
