National Park Service backs Trump’s arch, despite its impact on Washington’s sightline
- The National Park Service supports President Donald Trump's proposed 250-foot memorial arch despite concerns about its impact on Washington's historic landmark sightlines.
- The new report states the arch will disrupt the historical significance of many sites near Memorial Bridge, including views of the Washington Monument and Lincoln and Jefferson memorials.
- Washington's monuments and sites are designed to symbolize history through visual connections, which the arch is expected to disturb more than initially thought.
- The report concludes that Memorial Circle's sensitive historical nature makes it the suitable place for the arch, and moving the arch or removing its main commemorative feature would fail the project's purpose.
