While some D.C. politicians have spoken out on the chuch parking issue, one has been surprisingly quiet on the matter — Jack Evans, the council-member whose ward includes Logan Circle and Shaw. But as our newfound friends at Logan Circle Parking Problems pointed out to us, Evans has finally broken his silence on an issue that has politicians scrambling to find who they can stand to offend — churchgoers or area residents.

Evans yesterday chose the residents. In his weekly newsletter to his constituents, Evans wrote:

Mayor Williams recently decided to delay the much-anticipated implementation of the Logan Residents for Equitable Enforcement of Parking Regulations Taskforce’s recommendations. While we can continue to work on refining the Taskforce’s recommendations, immediate relief is warranted. I urge the Mayor to take the first step and begin enforcement of the initial phases of the Logan Circle plan. The May 21 enforcement date for Logan Circle, which was agreed upon, is reasonable and should be implemented.

Evans has often worked closely with Williams, though it is doubtful that he wil expend much political capital trying to convince the mayor to start enforcing parking laws on May 21.
