I don't think this change is so much a necessary change due to a lot of air traffic,but more of a political move of some kind..the question is ,why now after all these years?

Why the changes?

They 'protect' the US Naval Observatory, the residence of the VP, and the mall, and areas north of there. Like K Street, 'Lobbyist Row'. Why now? Why so subtle? Why? It almost doesn't make any sense.
