Recommendation
No objection to the proposed revisions to the previously approved final design submitted by the Smithsonian Institution for supplemental perimeter fencing at the National Zoological Park at 3001 Connecticut Avenue, as shown in materials dated 7 October 2021. The revisions include the relocation and narrowing of the sliding service gate, #15, in Section 8 of the fencing at the lower Zoo inboard from the intersection with North Road, and adjustments to reconfigure a portion of the adjacent pedestrian pathway to improve pedestrian safety. Revisions conform to the Commission's recommendations during the previous review. Refer to DC Historic Preservation Office.
