The "Closing of Portions of a Public Alley in Square 571, S.O. 25-01939, Act of 2026" aims to facilitate the construction of a new shelter operated by the Community for Creative Non-Violence (CCNV) by closing certain portions of the public alley system in Square 571. This closure is necessary to create a single record lot that will allow for unified redevelopment of the site, which is currently limited by alley lot restrictions. The legislation is supported by the Advisory Neighborhood Commission 6E, which voted in favor of the alley modifications.

The bill outlines that the alley closures are deemed unnecessary for alley purposes and will vest title to the land as indicated on the Surveyors plat filed under S.O. 25-01939. The closure is contingent upon meeting specific conditions set forth in the official file for the survey. Additionally, the bill includes provisions for transmittal to relevant authorities and establishes an effective date contingent upon mayoral approval and congressional review.
