100% of comments were negative: "a waste of money & misuse of funds". Also "it would obstruct #historic views & disrupt the landscape, it was inappropriate #imperial or #political symbolism, that the #design was gaudy, oversized, incompatible, and that it was disrespectful to #Arlington National Cemetery & #military sacrifice."
#Architects want arch opened, to block fewer views, some other animal than #lions.
