Moreover, it's merely a proposal.Given all the eyeballs that need to scrutinize the redesign in order for it to even think about entering the execution phase, this whole flap could be nothing more than a minor tempest in a major teapot. If a plan is indeed brought to NPS before the Bush administration leaves office, and it chooses to engage the alternative that the National Coalition to Save Our Mall calls the "protest plaza," putting the plan into action is far from a given. As anyone who has tried to get anything in Washington done might explain, things just don't move that fast. Going out on a limb here and guessing you’ve not read the proposal.
