The Lenora Baker Way Designation Act of 2025 aims to symbolically designate a section of 3rd Street, SW, between I Street, SW, and M Street, SW, as Lenora Baker Way. This legislation honors Lenora Baker, a dedicated community leader from Washington, D.C., who made significant contributions to her neighborhood during challenging times marked by social and economic struggles. Baker was actively involved in local schools and churches, promoting community engagement and preserving African American culinary traditions. The Advisory Neighborhood Commission 6D has unanimously supported this designation.

The bill outlines the procedural framework for the street designation, referencing the Street and Alley Closing and Acquisition Procedures Act of 1982. It includes a fiscal impact statement and specifies that the act will take effect after approval by the Mayor, a potential veto override by the Council, a 30-day congressional review period, and publication in the District of Columbia Register.
