Civic Stage Legend

Primary Public Gathering Area

Civic Infrastructure

No Temporary Event Structures

The National Mall must sustain very high levels of use: • Improve high-visibility venues so they recover quickly.

• Provide civic infrastructure (utilities, communications, media, planned access, and paved surfaces).

• Use subtle Mall regrading to protect historic vistas.

• Provide transformable, multipurpose facilities that support the civic function.

• Locate permanent facilities and temporary facilities out of primary gathering locations and vistas.

FIRST AMENDMENT ACTIVITIES REMAIN AN ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THE NATIONAL MALL (36 CFR 7.96).

DEVELOP QUALITY CIVIC SPACE TO COMPLEMENT THE HIGH SYMBOLIC VALUE, CREATING A BEAUTIFUL AND DISTINGUISHED PUBLIC STAGE FOR NATIONAL CELEBRATIONS AND FIRST AMENDMENT ACTIVITIES.
