The Intersection of Maryland and Virginia Avenues, SW Site 19 //

Location: Site Description Summary This site location is south of the National Mall, in the Southwest Federal Center area near L’Enfant Plaza. The site boundaries are C, 7th, and 9th Streets, and the rail lines to the south. The site is surrounded by federal office uses and is within walking distance of the Capitol.

Urban Design Conditions This site strongly reinforces the framework, located at the intersection of two Special Streets (Maryland and Virginia Avenues). The location is at a potential urban square prominently featured in the L'Enfant Plan as a mirror image of Market Square on Pennsylvania Avenue (where the Navy Memorial is located). The site offers a dramatic view and direct axial relationship to the U.S. Capitol. The site is also on the 8th Street axis, highlighted in the Legacy Plan as a prominent corridor. Furthermore, the site is strategically located near L'Enfant Plaza and the Mall, two areas that offer numerous cultural resources and amenities. Memorial development on this site has the potential to not only enhance the site but also to showcase this square as a significant element in future plans for the city. Framework Context: Economic Conditions The intersection of Maryland and Virginia Avenues is located in a mixed-use area, with institutional, commercial (primarily office), tourism, and residential uses nearby. This mix of uses, and the potential for upgrading the food service and retail offerings at street level and underground at L'Enfant Plaza, gives the site a high suitability for locating a museum or memorial.

Transportation Conditions This site has an excellent supporting transportation system that has the potential of capitalizing on multiple modes of transportation. The L’Enfant Plaza Metrorail Station has an entrance on the site, through which the Yellow, Blue, Orange and Green lines can be accessed. The Virginia Railway Express has a stop at this location, which may be relocated to

Please see Vicinity: 4th Street. It is expected that a significant percentage of visitors to a memorial/museum at this location would utilize the pages 21 and 23 for an amendment that reflects the adoption of a Metrorail because of the number of lines connecting at L’Enfant Plaza, the number of secondary Metrorail stations in the Reserve on the National Mall. vicinity and the synergy created from the surrounding attractions. The transportation characteristics surrounding this site

MEMORIALS AND MUSEUMS MASTER PLAN demonstrate that it would be possible to accommodate a large volume of visitors.

Environmental Conditions The site is rectangular and flat, but has an irregular edge and slope where it abuts the rail line. The site currently features an expansive lawn and a buffer of trees by the rail line. There are no wetlands or other water resources on the site. While the vegetation and topsoil offer a favorable setting, the railroad presents some concerns. The railroad generates noise and air quality impacts and presents possible environmental contamination constraints.

Commemorative Opportunity: Design Considerations:

Jurisdiction: Federal – National Park Service

The size of the currently available parcel is less than one acre; however, this area could be increased by the future inclusion of the railroad rights-of-way. Memorial development could create an important civic space at this Special Place and complement museums and other cultural resources on the Mall. Development could take advantage of the view and axial relationship to the Capitol and 8th Street, as well as pedestrian access to the National Mall.

Memorial development in conjunction with the implementa- tion of the Circulator system (which could connect at L’Enfant Plaza to create an Intermodal Station) would increase use of public transportation.

Although enactment of the Legacy proposal to remove the rail lines would improve the environmental quality of the site, environmental assessment and possible remediation would be required for memorial development. Memorial development would likely require limited filling/grading and utility improvements.

The site is identified in the L’Enfant Plan as a significant urban square, a mirror image of the square at the intersection of Pennsylvania Avenue and the 8th Street axis (site of the Navy Memorial).
