The Stronghold Way Designation Act of 2025 aims to symbolically designate the alley that runs through the Stronghold neighborhood in Ward 5, Washington, D.C., as "Stronghold Way." This designation honors the rich history and community spirit of Stronghold, a neighborhood known for its hardworking residents and strong sense of solidarity. The alley is bounded by Michigan Avenue, N.E., North Capitol Street, N.E., and is adjacent to Glenwood and Prospect Hill Cemeteries. The bill emphasizes the values of community strength, mutual support, and belonging that have characterized the area throughout its history.
The legislation includes specific legal language that designates the alley in accordance with the Street and Alley Closing and Acquisition Procedures Act of 1982. It also incorporates a fiscal impact statement as required by the General Legislative Procedures Act of 1975. The act will take effect following the Mayor's approval, a 30-day Congressional review period, and publication in the District of Columbia Register.
