The proposed resolution, titled "Closing of a Cul-de-Sac in Square 4350, S.O. 22-05506, Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025," seeks to address an urgent need for the closure of a cul-de-sac located on Douglas Street, N.E., in Ward 5. This action is necessary to facilitate the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority's (WMATA) Bladensburg Bus Garage Reconstruction Project, which aims to expand parking for Metro buses and enhance infrastructure to support the transition to zero-emission buses. The project will increase the number of bus parking spots from 260 to 290 and employee parking from 100 to 400.

The resolution emphasizes the importance of enacting emergency legislation to prevent delays in the project, especially since permanent legislation (Bill 26-160) has already been approved by the Council. The Council has determined that the circumstances warrant immediate action, allowing the resolution to take effect right away after a single reading.
