Trump pushes 250-foot arch to redefine DC skyline
TL;DR
President Trump is pushing to start construction on a 250-foot-tall arch at Memorial Circle in Washington, D.C., a monument meant to mark America’s 250th anniversary. The structure would alter the city’s skyline and traffic and include an observation deck to raise pedestrians above the street for new views of the capital; the project awaits approval from the National Capital Planning Commission and faces lawsuits from veterans.
