Claim: Farragut North is only a block away from the Farragut West station; however, the National Park Service, an agency of the US federal government that manages all national parks since 1916, were against the constructions that would disrupt the park, which resulted on both stations to be built separately.
Evidence: Farragut North is only a block away (across the square) from Farragut West station; however, there is no direct connection between the two stations. The National Park Service, which owns the square, would not allow construction which would disrupt the park, so the stations were built separately with no direct passenger connection. The National Park Service (NPS) is an agency of the federal government of the United States that manages all national parks, many national monuments, and other conservation and historical properties with various title designations. The United States Congress created the agency on August 25, 1916 through the National Park Service Organic Act.
