LinkLinksOpinion Washington Post Editorial Board: The attack on the Capitol shouldn’t be used as an opportunity to close off more of D.C.’s public spaces By Editor On Jan 22, 2021 Last updated Jan 22, 2021 16 Share JUST HOURS after the inaugural festivities for President Biden concluded Wednesday night, work crews started to remove the temporary barriers and fencing that closed off key areas of the nation’s capital. Washingtonians, who saw their daily routines disrupted but understood the need for the unprecedented security after the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, should welcome the news.
