Trump’s arch faces third lawsuit as legal trouble mounts: Why Virginia and DC have sued over the ‘triumphal arch’ (The Economic Times)

Virginia and the District of Columbia are suing over the proposed memorial arch due to legal complications. Three veterans previously filed lawsuits arguing the project could disrupt the sightline between notable monuments. The construction site is located in a busy area that will experience increased traffic during the three-year project. Both Virginia and DC claim that the arch will cause substantial environmental pollution and emergency service disruptions.
