The bill, titled the "Closing of the former Frederick Douglas Memorial Bridge Right of Way on Lot 817 in Square 708," seeks to officially close a section of the right of way associated with the former Frederick Douglas Memorial Bridge in Southeast Washington, D.C., specifically in Ward 8. The Council has determined that this right of way is no longer necessary for street purposes and has ordered its closure, with the title to the land to vest as indicated on the accompanying surveyor's plat.
The bill outlines the procedural framework for this closure, referencing the District of Columbia Home Rule Act and the Street and Alley Closing and Acquisition Procedures Act. It also includes a fiscal impact statement, which has been adopted from the committee report, and specifies that the act will take effect after receiving approval from the Mayor, a 30-day congressional review period, and publication in the District of Columbia Register.
