Planning Commission Votes to Advance Trump’s Arch

New York Times: “A federal planning commission on Thursday advanced President Trump’s plan to build a 250-foot arch in Washington, even after receiving overwhelming public opposition to the project.”

“The National Capital Planning Commission, which is led by allies of Mr. Trump, received nearly 1,700 public comments about the proposed triumphal arch, almost all of which opposed it. Staff at the commission also raised several issues about the plan, including whether the structure could disrupt flight patterns or violate laws restricting the height of buildings in the nation’s capital.”
