The new Black Lives Matter Plaza would feature new traffic lanes and a walkway so visitors can continue to enjoy the art installation with a view of the White House.
The renderings show the pedestrian walkway running down the middle of the road with car lanes on either side, plus landscaping.
The huge yellow letters that spell out “Black Lives Matter” were paved over but will be replaced by the end of the week, the mayor’s office said.
