Dear Mr. Thomas:
Thank you for your letter of June 28 commenting on the preferred
alternative for the redesign of Pennsylvania Avenue in front of
the White House. We appreciate your taking the time to express
your views. It is only through this kind of public exchange that
we can produce the best results for our country.
The National Park Service was asked to lead the effort to develop
a long term design for the closed portion of the avenue and the
areas around it. As you know the resulting preferred alternative
and the other alternatives considered have been available for
public review and comment. Your letter, and accompanying
petitions, will be included as part of that review process.
Feelings are strong in all of us for our capital city and for our
connection as citizens to the White House. We look forward to
your continued active participation in the planning process for
Pennsylvania Avenue between 15th and 17th Streets.
Sincerely,
(signed)
James McDaniel Director,
White House Liaison
