The Malachi Jackson Way Designation Act of 2025 aims to symbolically designate Gales Street NE, between 15th Street NE and 21st Street NE in Ward 7, as Malachi Jackson Way. This designation honors the memory of Malachi Jackson, a 15-year-old who was tragically killed due to gun violence in 2022. The initiative is supported by the Rosedale community and Advisory Neighborhood Commission 7D, with the goal of raising awareness about the impacts of gun violence while commemorating Malachi's connection to the Rosedale Recreation Center, where he participated in boxing programs.

The bill outlines the legal framework for the designation, referencing sections of the Street and Alley Closing and Acquisition Procedures Act of 1982. It includes a fiscal impact statement and stipulates that the act will take effect following approval by the Mayor and a 30-day congressional review period. No specific insertions or deletions from current law are noted in the text provided.
