弗吉尼亚州一个县的委员会正在提起诉讼，以阻止唐纳德·特朗普总统的“凯旋门”建设，为这个颇具争议的250英尺高项目带来又一场法律挑战。
在与左翼非营利组织“民主前进”（Democracy Forward）共同宣布提起诉讼时，由五人组成的阿灵顿县委员会辩称，该拱门“将在本已繁忙的走廊上大幅加剧交通拥堵”，并指出拟选址区域每天都有“大量商业车辆、私家车和应急车辆，以及行人和骑自行车的人”穿梭于阿灵顿和华盛顿特区之间。
这场在弗吉尼亚东区联邦地区法院提起的诉讼指控国家公园管理局仅对该拱门建设的影响进行了“敷衍且笼统”的法定审查。
诉讼称，该研究未考虑施工可能损害阿灵顿公共安全的相关因素，例如“堵塞该县应急运输服务所需的主干道，包括阿灵顿国家公墓的应急服务通道”。
阿灵顿县委员会主席马特·德费兰蒂（Matt de Ferranti）表示：“阿灵顿县委员会提起此次诉讼，因为我们社区将是这个恶劣且违法的拟建项目的最大受害者。”
拟议的拱门选址纪念圆环（Memorial Circle），在行政上属于华盛顿特区的一座岛屿，但距离弗吉尼亚州和阿灵顿县边界仅数码之遥。车辆从弗吉尼亚州驶入该圆环，再从华盛顿特区开往弗吉尼亚州。跑步道和自行车道也横穿这片区域，该地点可俯瞰附近的阿灵顿国家公墓。
此前，国家公园管理局的一份报告承认，该拱门将对数十处历史地标和观景视线造成“不利影响”。
尽管如此，特朗普政府一直在快速推进审批流程，力求在总统任期结束前建成这座拱门。
上个月，一项被称为第106条审查的分析工作在未达成共识的情况下突然终止——这项审查通常需要对项目相关历史保护事务拥有利益或专业知识的独立团体签字认可。此举实际上规避了自1966年起实施的联邦历史保护法。
政府一直计划在定于11月5日召开的下一次国家首都规划委员会（NCPC）会议上，对该拱门进行最终审批。该项目此前已获得美术委员会（CFA）的批准。
国家首都规划委员会和美术委员会是负责监督华盛顿特区建筑和设计变更的两个关键联邦机构，在拱门等项目开工前必须获得其批准。
这座拱门还面临着另一桩由越南退伍军人和保护组织提起的备受瞩目的诉讼。
Can this Virginia county stop Trump’s arch?

A county board in Virginia is suing to stop the construction of President Donald Trump’s “Triumphal arch,” bringing another legal challenge to the controversial 250-foot project.
In announcing the suit, brought with the left-leaning nonprofit group “Democracy Forward,” the five-member Arlington County Board argued that the arch “would dramatically worsen traffic in an already-busy corridor,” noting that the proposed site carries a “large numbers of commercial, personal, and emergency vehicles, as well as pedestrians and cyclists” between Arlington and Washington, DC, each day.
The lawsuit filed in the Eastern District of Virginia alleges that National Park Service only conducted a “cursory and conclusory” legally mandated review of the impacts of building the arch.
The study failed to look at factors such as how construction could harm public safety in Arlington, such as by “clogging thoroughfares needed for emergency transport services run by the county, including emergency services for Arlington National Cemetery,” the lawsuit said.
“The Arlington County Board has filed this lawsuit because our community has the most to lose from this egregious and unlawful proposed project,” said Arlington County Board Chair Matt de Ferranti.
The proposed site of the arch, Memorial Circle, is an island technically in Washington, DC, but mere yards away from the Virginia and Arlington county border. Traffic flows into the circle from Virginia into DC and from DC to Virginia. Running and bike paths also criss cross the site, which overlooks nearby Arlington National Cemetery.
Previously, a National Park Service report acknowledged that the arch would have “adverse effects” on dozens of historical landmarks and sightlines.
Despite this, the Trump administration has been fast-tracking the approval process, driving towards the goal of building the president’s arch before he leaves office.
Last month, an analysis, known as a Section 106 review, which usually requires independent groups that have an interest or expertise in historical preservation matters related to a project to sign off, was abruptly ended without consensus – a move that effectively evaded the federal historical preservation law that has been in place since 1966.
The administration has been eyeing the next National Capital Planning Commission (NCPC) meeting, scheduled for November 5, for final approval of the arch. The project has previously been approved by the Commission of Fine Arts (CFA).
NCPC and CFA are the two key federal agencies which oversee architecture and design changes in DC and must approve projects like the arch before they are built.
The arch is also the subject of another high-profile lawsuit brought by Vietnam Veterans and preservation groups.
