National Park Service to Host Three Public Open House Meetings for National Mall Plan; Agency Seeks Public Input
Washington, D.C. - The National Park Service (NPS) is continuing to seek the public's input regarding planning efforts that will help to determine the future of the National Mall by hosting
three local public open house format meetings designed to provide an opportunity for public/NPS dialogue. The meetings will provide identical opportunities to provide public input into planning.
To help prepare for these three public meetings, the NPS is adding new maps to its website (http://www.nps.gov/nationalmallplan) that show study areas and approved projects, such as the approved locations for the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial or the National Museum of African-American History and Culture. Display boards will provide background information. Staff will be available to talk about planning, and maps will be available for use by attendees.
The three public meetings will be held:
o Saturday, February 24th, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
o Thursday, March 8th, 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m.
o Saturday, March 10th, 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
All meetings will be held at the Old Post Office Pavilion, at the corner of 12th and Pennsylvania Ave., N.W., in Room M-09 on the Mezzanine level. Meeting attendees are directed to enter on the 12th Street side and proceed through security. The Mezzanine level is located one floor up from the street level. Parking is very limited. Meeting attendees are advised to take METRO to the Federal Triangle stop on METRO's Blue and Orange lines located across 12th Street.
If these meetings are not convenient, the public may still submit written or graphic depictions about the National Mall to http://www.nps.gov/nationalmallplan or mail comments to our non-profit partner, The Trust for the National Mall at:
National Mall Plan Comments
Trust for the National Mall
P.O. Box 96475, 601 13th Street, N.W.
Washington D.C. 20090-6475
The National Park Service will accept written comments or graphic depictions regarding planning efforts for the National Mall through March 16, 2007.
