National Park Service concludes Trump’s arch is so big that it would intrude on other DC landmarks
- The Trump administration’s proposed 250-foot “triumphal arch” in Washington could have an “adverse” impact on nearly 40 other capital-area landmarks, according to the National Park Service.
- Those include changing the views and potentially altering the symbolism of many of the most iconic and important sites in Washington, including the Lincoln Memorial, Arlington National Cemetery and the Washington Monument.
- Last month, NPS solicited public comment and identified potential adverse impacts from the design as part of the so-called Section 106 process under the National Historic Preservation Act.
