The National Park Service is calling on the public to provide their input on the potential effects of a 250-foot arch being proposed by President Donald Trump.
Authorities are requesting public comments as part of the agencys responsibility under the National Historic Preservation Act, since the arch would become part of the Memorial Avenue corridor, the Lincoln Memorial and the National Mall areas.
Comments can either be filed online or by emailing ncr_planning@nap.gov.
Comments are open until June 15.
See the Project Home in the left column for description.

Whatever years I have left, I'm not spending them cowering in fear from these jackals.
Im small meat. But I do donate to progressives. Might be flagged. Maybe Im just small potatoes and should let it go. If they want, they can trace me back to the American revolution. So maybe Im safe???
crazy that those words just came out of my mouth. I fu(king hate him. This whole situation is just bonkers that we hesitate to give them any information at all.
Im not sure how to think or respond any longer.

(4,593 posts)Then building shit we dont want. This is Putin, full stop. Destroy everything but give Donnie big things to keep him happy. Give him ballrooms. Give be him fight rings. Etc.
i think this is Putin. Destroy everything from within but flatter the idiot. I told people in 2016 that he was a Russian plant/tool. And I still believe that. This is Russia destroying us from within. But. We keep dancing around this acting like Trump is some amazing politician. Hes a grifter that owes Putin something. Putin has been planning this for years and hes apparently succeeding. There is a lot of blackmail going on in the halls of congress and the Supreme Court. Putin has been playing the long game.

(14,199 posts)I cannot think of a more monstrously Un-American eyesore than the proposed arch.
The preposterous height would overwhelm and utterly ruin the deliberate design of the National Mall with its treasured long and open views. It will encroach on hallowed military ground and destroy the solemn views between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery.
This project must be rejected to preserve the quintessentially American, elegant, restrained symmetries and harmonies of Washington D.C.s neoclassical and Federal architecture.
I, along with millions of Americans, am begging you not to commit this heartbreaking, obscenely grandiose architectural atrocity. For the sake of the nation, heed our calls.
