The proposed legislation, titled "Closing of a Portion of a Public Alley in Square 3524, S.O. 23-06402, Temporary Act of 2025," aims to close a section of the public alley in Square 3524 to facilitate the development of 27 residential units, which will consist of two-family townhouses and single-family homes in Ward 5. The closure is deemed unnecessary for alley purposes, as determined by the Council, and is contingent upon the fulfillment of specific conditions set by the District Department of Transportation (DDOT). These conditions include the payment for the removal of existing street lighting and the approval of a Tree Protection Plan or a permit for the removal of a Special Tree located in the area.

The legislation includes a fiscal impact statement prepared by the Chief Financial Officer and outlines the process for its enactment, which requires approval by the Mayor, a 30-day congressional review period, and publication in the District of Columbia Register. Additionally, the act is set to expire 225 days after its effective date. The Advisory Neighborhood Commission 5F has expressed support for the alley closing, and relevant District agencies and public utilities have either supported or not objected to the proposal.
