The bill titled "Closing of the former Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge Right of Way on Lot 817 in Square 708, S.O. 23-05325, Act of 2025" authorizes the closure of the former right of way associated with the Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge located in Southeast Washington, DC, specifically on Lot 817 in Square 708. 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 vesting as indicated on the accompanying surveyor's plat.

Additionally, the bill includes a fiscal impact statement that has been adopted from the committee report, fulfilling the requirements set forth by the General Legislative Procedures Act of 1975. The act will take effect after receiving approval from the Mayor, or following a Council override of a potential veto, and after a 30-day congressional review period as mandated by the District of Columbia Home Rule Act.
