The "San Romero Plaza Designation Act of 2025" aims to honor the legacy of San Oscar Romero by designating a public right-of-way at the corner of Sacred Heart Way and 16th Street Northwest as San Romero Plaza. This initiative is part of a broader community effort to enhance public spaces in Ward 1, as highlighted by the Columbia Heights and Mt. Pleasant Public Life Study, which emphasizes the need for accessible and well-designed areas that foster social connections and cultural expression. The plaza is envisioned as a flexible gathering space that will strengthen community ties and reflect the neighborhood's cultural identity, while also serving as a tribute to Romero's commitment to justice and compassion.

The bill includes a formal designation of the public right-of-way abutting Square 2675, Lot 832, as San Romero Plaza, thereby establishing a physical space that embodies the values of inclusion and care for the community. It also outlines the procedural steps for the bill's enactment, including the requirement for a fiscal impact statement and the process for approval by the Mayor and Congressional review. This designation not only honors Romero's legacy as a symbol of democracy and moral leadership but also reinforces the District's commitment to creating public spaces that reflect the stories and needs of its diverse residents.
