The Paper Alleys Planning Amendment Act of 2025 aims to enhance the infrastructure of unimproved or "paper" alleys in the District of Columbia. The bill mandates the Department of Transportation (DDOT) to develop a comprehensive plan by March 15, 2026, which includes creating a publicly posted map of all known paper alleys, assessing the condition of these alleys, and estimating the costs for their repair. The plan must also involve community engagement to gather input from residents and prioritize improvements in low-income areas and high-usage alleys.

Additionally, the bill defines "paper alley" as an unpaved or partially paved alley and outlines specific requirements for the DDOT's plan, including metrics for community support before proceeding with repairs. The act will take effect after being approved by the Mayor and undergoing a 30-day congressional review period.
