White Flint Elementary School Meeting Tonight – The Board of Education wants the site of a future White Flint Elementary School moved. The Planning Department wants it to remain as designed in the sector plan. There’s also a disagreement between the landowner and the Planning Board about how that land would be donated. Tonight, county planners will participate in the general meeting of the Garrett Park Estates/White Flint Park Citizen’s Association to try to sort it all out. The school is a vital part of dealing with extra students projected to live in the new White Flint. The meeting is set for 7 p.m. at Garrett Park Elementary School (4810 Oxford St.).

More Illegal Towing Near Chevy Chase Whole Foods – It might be a good idea to avoid parking in the Bank of Georgetown lot next to the Chevy Chase Whole Foods, even if you’re going into the store for just a few minutes. An 80-year-old Bethesda woman got her car towed from the lot after the bank was closed one night. The total cost, including the cost to get the car towed back to Bethesda, was $298. WUSA9 helped the woman get off on a technicality — law requires tow companies to replace previous warning signs with bigger signs. The company, Rockville-based Diversified Recovery, hadn’t done that. In May, a Chevy Chase man got his towing charge refunded from the same company towing in the same lot. The company hadn’t signed a towing contract with the Bank of Georgetown. [WUSA9]
No Parking On Tuckerman Lane – Until Friday, the metered-parking spots along Tuckerman Lane near the Grosvenor-Strathmore Metro station will be closed. MCPS will be using the spots to park buses used in its series of field trips to Strathmore for free student concerts. [Bethesda-Chevy Chase Regional Services Center]
