A longtime District lawmaker was furious Tuesday over security restrictions that will be in place on Inauguration Day, complaining that parking spaces at the John A. Wilson Building will be limited as authorities guard the parade route along Pennsylvania Avenue.

Ward 2 Councilman Jack Evans, who has been a member of the D.C. Council for five previous inaugurations, said it was “unacceptable” that the Secret Service would mandate that lawmakers park their cars at the Wilson Building by 6 a.m. on Jan. 21, the day of the public swearing-in festivities this year.
