National Park Service report backs Trump's arch, despite its adverse effects to sightlines between DC's iconic landmarks

A new National Park Service report supports President Donald Trump's proposed arch. The document acknowledges that the structure would cause adverse effects to several of Washington's iconic landmarks. Specifically, the report notes that the arch would negatively impact sightlines between key sites, including the Washington Monument as well as the Lincoln and Jefferson memorials. Despite these identified visual disruptions to the capital's historic landscape, the National Park Service continues to back the proposed architectural project.
