The Friends of Wangari Gardens Grant Emergency Amendment Act of 2026 aims to amend the Department of Transportation Establishment Act of 2022 to allow the Director to issue a grant specifically for the Friends of Wangari Gardens. This grant will be used for the assessment, design, and installation of a water meter and potable water source on the Wangari Gardens property, which will include a spigot for the free use of gardeners.

The bill introduces a new paragraph (5) to Section 3(c) of the existing law, which permits this grant despite previous restrictions outlined in paragraph (1) of the same subsection. The act is intended to be enacted on an emergency basis, with a provision for it to remain in effect for no longer than 90 days following approval by the Mayor or a Council override of a potential veto.
