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 portion 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 necessary as the alley is considered unnecessary for public use, and the title to the land will revert as indicated on the Surveyor's plat. The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) has expressed no objections to the closure, provided that certain conditions are met, including 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 the act's approval, which requires the Mayor's approval and a 30-day congressional review period. Additionally, the act is set to expire 225 days after its enactment. The Advisory Neighborhood Commission 5F has also shown support for the alley closing, indicating community backing for the proposed development.
