The National Park Service wants public comments on Trump's proposed Triumphal Arch

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 agency’s 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.
