THE NATIONAL MALL
The National Mall is a designed historic landscape, home of presidential and other memorials, the site of First Amendment demonstrations and national celebrations as well as numerous events. It is the location of great cultural institutions of our nation. It must continue to preserve historic resources and be the civic stage for our nation, as well as provide for some level of enjoyment and recreation. Each of the alternatives describe choices that lead to different futures for the National Mall. There are many needs and opportunities to balance, and this is your time to tell us how you would combine ideas to achieve an ideal balance.
