ALTHOUGH THE NEW TARGET retail complex in Columbia Heights comes with a 1,000-space underground parking garage, some residents still fear that precious on-street parking will see a squeeze even tighter than usual when the businesses there open their doors next month.

The D.C. Council is considering a plan for new pilot projects aimed at keeping the parking situation under control despite the arrival of Target, Best Buy and other businesses that are flooding into the neighborhood.

A meeting on the plan, sponsored by the District Department of Transportation, Ward 1 Council member Jim Graham and Advisory Neighborhood Commission 1A, is scheduled for tonight. It will start at 7:30 p.m. at Harriet Tubman Elementary School at 3101 13th St. NW.
