Recommendation
No objection to the proposed revisions to the approved design for new canopies to cover the exposed escalator entrances to the Arlington Cemetery station (both entrances), as shown in materials received and dated 28 April 2020. The revised design narrows the side overhangs of the canopies by approximately 2 feet in order to preserve and not impact the adjacent hedges that line both sides of Memorial Drive.
