The resolution proposed by Mayor Muriel Bowser seeks the approval of the Council of the District of Columbia for the transfer of jurisdiction over portions of U.S. Reservations 343-C and 343-D from the National Park Service to the District. This transfer is intended to facilitate the construction of the 11th Street Bridge project, which will include the development of the District's first elevated park, featuring playgrounds, urban agriculture, and performance spaces. The land involved in the transfer encompasses approximately 165,294 square feet and 5,653 square feet of air rights, located along the east bank of the Anacostia River.

The resolution outlines the necessary steps for the transfer, including the requirement for the Council to transmit a copy of the resolution upon adoption to various officials and agencies. It also confirms that the funds required for the project are available within the proposed fiscal budgets for 2025 through 2029, and that the District Department of Transportation will maintain the land until the park's construction is completed. After the park is operational, it will be managed by Building Bridges Across the River, which will be responsible for its maintenance.
