Comment on the Monumental Arch at Memorial Circle
Email Jaime Loichinger at jloichinger@achp.gov before 11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday, September 29.
Suggested subject line: Comments on the Monumental Arch at Memorial Circle
Write in your own words. Personal comments are more effective than form letters. You might say:
· What the view between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery means to you
· Why a comment period of a few business days is not a meaningful chance to be heard on a project of this significance
· That the National Park Service acknowledged this project would adversely affect dozens of historic properties, yet alternatives — another site, a smaller structure, a different design — were never seriously evaluated
