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 support the 11th Street Bridge project, which aims to create 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 includes air rights, facilitating the development of the park along the east bank of the Anacostia River.

The resolution outlines the legal and fiscal implications of the transfer, confirming that funds are available in the proposed budget to implement the project. The District Department of Transportation will manage the land until the park's construction is completed, after which the maintenance will be handled by the organization Building Bridges Across the River. The resolution is positioned for immediate effect upon adoption, and the Council is encouraged to act promptly to facilitate the project’s progress.
