Sunday should be quiet around Washington churches now that Mayor Anthony Williams backed off his pledge to crack down on double-parking. He said he is putting together a task force to figure out how to solve the divide between Sunday worshippers and residents annoyed at the inconvenience.

The task force will try to find a middle ground, said Williams’ spokeswoman Sharon Gang. The task force will consider appealing to schools and businesses to open their lots, using valet parking and angle parking on wide streets. Williams has not announced the task force members.
