The move follows months of disagreement over the arch\u2019s effect on historic views around Memorial Circle, Arlington Memorial Bridge and the approach to the cemetery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That does not give the project final approval. The council plans to send advisory comments to Interior Secretary Doug Burgum by October 7. Burgum must consider and respond to them before making a final decision under this preservation review. The public and consulting parties have until September 29 to submit their views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A fight over historic views<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Park Service identified 42 historic properties that could be affected by the project, including six National Historic Landmarks. Its assessment found that the arch would have adverse effects on historic settings and sightlines by adding a prominent structure to the commemorative landscape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the council\u2019s letter, the Park Service said further talks on the existing proposal were unlikely to produce an agreement. It also said alternatives that would avoid or reduce the adverse effects would change the project\u2019s fundamental nature and prevent it from meeting its goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Virginia officials pushed back. In a letter described by <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.com\/Politics\/federal-preservation-agency-terminating-required-consultation-local-officials\/story?id=136730003\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ABC News<\/a>, state preservation official Samantha Henderson argued that the proposed measures would \u201cfurther highlight how this undertaking has marred rather than added to these spaces.\u201d She said public and local-government concerns had not been directly addressed in a way that showed an effort to reach agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The administration says the arch would celebrate American triumphs and beautify the capital. Opponents argue that its scale would overwhelm the solemn route between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery. The proposed site is Memorial Circle on Columbia Island, at the Washington, D.C., end of Arlington Memorial Bridge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Trump adds a military twist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Trump has also given the project a new purpose. In a Sunday Truth Social post, he said that \u201cat the strong request of the United States Military\u201d he had agreed to turn the arch into a \u201ctop grade Military Complex\/Triumphal Arch.\u201d He said it would hold drones, provide positions for snipers and store sniper ammunition. The Pentagon declined to comment when ABC News asked about the announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The National Capital Planning Commission approved preliminary site and building plans in July. It requested more information about the arch\u2019s height, traffic effects and aviation-related lighting before final review. That final approval has yet to be granted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The preservation dispute now moves from negotiations toward a decision at Interior.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump\u2019s planned triumphal arch has hit a new stage in its fight with preservation officials: A federal council is ending talks aimed at resolving objections to the 250-foot monument near Arlington National Cemetery.
