Dear Coalition Friends:
The National Park Service has extended the public comment period for its proposed National Mall Plan to March 16, 2007. Previously the deadline was today, January 19th.
The notice of the National Mall planning process was published in the Federal Register on Tuesday, January 16th.
This additional 60 day period should allow many more individuals and organizations to draw up comments and questions.
The Coalition's update from last November provides some information about the plan:
