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

The National Park Service has released a new report supporting President Donald Trump's proposed architectural arch in Washington, D.C. The endorsement comes despite the report's own findings that the structure will have adverse effects on the capital's sightlines.

According to the findings, the planned arch will negatively impact visual corridors and iconic landmarks throughout the city. Specifically, the report notes that the structure will interfere with the views between the Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Jefferson Memorial.
