Aug. 3 (UPI) — The National Park Service’s review of President Donald Trump’s proposed Triumphal Arch has found that it would negatively impact dozens of historic sites in Washington, D.C.

The NPS said Monday that about 40 historic sites around the city would be adversely affected by the presence of the arch, including the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument, the Arlington National Cemetery and the U.S. Capitol.

Trump is seeking to construct a 250-foot arch, a scale that breaks local height restrictions. It would be more than twice the height of the Lincoln Memorial and would be visible from many other notable locations, fundamentally altering the city skyline.

The arch is planned to be built on Memorial Circle between the Arlington Memorial Bridge and the Arlington National Cemetery. It would include an observation deck, which would give visitors on the deck a viewpoint of private funerals held at the cemetery.

The arch would also obstruct the view from the cemetery of the Eternal Flame at President John F. Kennedy’s gravesite.

The NPS has asked for public comments to be received by Thursday.

“These adverse effects are intentional and inherent in the design of the arch; it is intended to dominate the surrounding landscape,” Roger W. Kitchen, Virginia’s State Historic Preservation officer, said in a letter to the Park Service in June.

Others who have commented say the arch will harm the experiences of other historic sites. Officials from preservation organizations in Virginia and Washington have voiced concerns that the review process is being rushed.

The review of the proposal did not begin until after the site for construction was chosen and after a federal panel had already approved the design.

The administration’s approach toward historic sites has extended beyond the scope of the arch project and Washington, D.C., altogether. It has proposed changes to federal preservation rules that would limit the role of the public in maintaining public spaces and historical sites.
