The "Closing of a Public Alley in Square 5624, S.O. 17-21054, Act of 2025" is a legislative proposal aimed at closing an unimproved public alley located within the Lee Montessori East End campus in Ward 8. The alley, which is described as a "paper alley" that leads to nowhere, currently limits the potential use of the open space at the center of the school. The bill seeks to facilitate the school's vision of transforming this area into a play space for students, thereby enhancing outdoor learning and recreational opportunities. The school has recently expanded its facilities, allowing for an increase in student enrollment, and the closure of the alley is seen as a necessary step to maximize the use of the available land.

The bill outlines that the alley is deemed unnecessary for public purposes and orders its closure, with the title to the land vesting as indicated on the surveyor's plat. The measure is supported by a fiscal impact statement, which has been adopted from the committee report. The act will take effect following the Mayor's approval and a 30-day congressional review period, ensuring that the school community can move forward with their plans for the new play area.
