#RedesigningPennsylvaniaAvenue is a great idea and I like the idea of "Civic Space." But I would like to remind the planners to recall that the big protest/event space on the Capitol Mall was "aesthesticized" by placing a "memorial" to soldiers who died in #WWII. Full of bollards and metal chains, it looks like Mordor instead of a thoughtful, communal meditative place the way the #VietnamMemorial in DC is sited. We need "#urbanrenewal" of a non Le Corbusier variety. https://wapo.st/440vR7V
