Public invited to comment on Environmental Assessment July 22 - September 9
The National Park Service is seeking public comments on the redevelopment of the U.S. Park Police Stables on the National Mall. After the initial public comment period ending in April 2019 on the overall concept of the project, the comments were reviewed and incorporated within the Environmental Assessment. Moving forward this public comment period addresses the EA and the alternatives outlined.
The current stables, located in ash woods between Independence Avenue and Ash Road, east of the Korean War Veterans Memorial and west of the DC War Memorial, will be replaced with a new facility that is designed to improve horse living and stable conditions, provide adequate administrative space and storage, improve operational access, reduce vehicular and pedestrian conflicts, and address drainage concerns. In addition, the new stables will include a space that will allow for the public to learn about the Park Police and the horse mounted unit.
The EA will be available on the NPS Planning, Environment & Public Comment website from July 22 to September 9, 2019. http://parkplanning.nps.gov/H1Stables.
