Trump pitches Lincoln Memorial promenade to link National Mall and Potomac
TL;DR
President Trump unveiled a plan for a pedestrian promenade along the Lincoln Memorial that would take pedestrians over two busy roadways to connect the National Mall with the Potomac River, a project he tied to an early-20th-century vision and part of his broader efforts to reshape Washington’s monumental core; Interior Secretary Doug Burgum backed the idea, framing it as a continuation of renovations around the National Mall, while architects cautioned about his interpretation amid other projects like the Reflecting Pool renovation.
