May 01, 2003 — CSO — To harden the perimeter against vehicles, the National Park Service has proposed building a low plinth wall to encircle the mound on which the memorial sits. The material and finish of the wall will match the memorial's marble and limestone exterior. Stainless steel retractable bollards will allow occasional vehicular access from the road to the memorial for special events. Granite bollards, planters and benches will complete the circle, running around the front of the building and across the steps to create a secure perimeter while permitting easy access to the site for pedestrians. To make the wall look natural and to add an additional level of protection, the grassy slope inside the perimeter will be regraded and new sod will be put down.
