  The proposals, which Spain said were developed from prior public input, are part of the Park Service's attempt to better manage the Mall, which has an estimated 25 million visitors a year and in many areas is worn from age and use.
  ...
  During a Jan. 12 public meeting in the Old Post Office Pavilion, Spain said large demonstrations would not be restricted from spreading across the Mall.
  ...
  The idea is "how do we better accommodate things, and how do we design for them" Spain said, "and also have this place look the way the American public would like the welcoming space in our nation to look."She said the chief sentiment among 5,000 prior public comments was that the Mall does not look as good as it should.

  But, as it turns out, restrooms can be the most difficult issue to resolve -- one described as "highly controversial" by Susan Spain, the Park Service's project executive for the Mall makeover.
  
  That's because the Mall, often called the nation's front lawn, is not just any park.Officials have to balance needs with a sensitivity reserved for hallowed ground.
  
  "If you're going to bring people to a location, you have to accommodate their human needs," Spain allowed.
  
  There was great debate over a plan to include restrooms in the Thomas Jefferson Memorial when it opened in 1943, she added.

  "When you told us that more time was needed to respond to the GMP, we were happy to extend the deadline for receiving comments from August 5 to October 6," said Susan Spain, a planning specialist from the NPS regional office in Denver. Spain admitted that it was a quite a challenge to come up with a plan that will guide these parks when the area's population is expected to experience dramatic growth and changing user groups.The area's population is expected to be largely Hispanic, Spain said, and many of these people will visit the national parks.Spain and David Graber, Sequoia Park's chief scientist, are serving as principals on the GMP, and each gave portions of a brief overview as to what has happened since the work on the plan began in 1997.
  ...
  Spain also pointed out that the planning process had prompted several areas of "civic engagement," including a memorandum of understanding relating to the Mineral King cabins and the determination that the Mineral King district was eligible to be listed in The National Register of Historic Places.
  ...
  When asked why the local parks had for so long ignored the preservation of historical resources like the rustic Mineral King cabin community, Spain said it was because historic preservation was not previously in the management vision. But Spain also said a new GMP could change that situation and that the preservation of Mineral King presents the first tangible opportunity.The ultimate challenge, she explained, is how best to do that.
  
  "What we really want to see is a creative, generous approach to preserving Mineral King," Spain said.
