There will be as many as 220 fewer parking spaces at the Franconia-Springfield Metro station beginning Oct. 1, Metro announced Monday. About 4,800 parking spaces will remain at the station at the end of Blue Line.
The struggle to regulate guns in the District in light of a historic U.S. Supreme Court ruling sparked competing legislative efforts yesterday as members of Congress debated taking control of the issue and the D.C. Council implored them to leave it in local hands.
