The Honorable Phil Mendelson, Chairman
Council of the District of Columbia
John A. Wilson Building
1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 504
Washington, DC 20004
Dear Chairman Mendelson:
Enclosed for consideration and approval by the Council of the District of Columbia are the
“OpeningofStreets and Designation of Opened Streets in Square S-5868, 8.0. 22-01486, Act of
2022”, “OpeningofStreets and Designation of Opened Streets in Squate S-5868, $.0. 2201486,
Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2022”, “Opening of Streets and Designation of Opened
Streets in Square $-5868, $.0. 22-01486, Emergency Act of 2022”, and “Opening of Streets and
Designationof Opened Streets in Square S-5868, S.O. 22-01486, Temporary Act of 2022”, The
bills will, on an emergency, temporary, and permanent basis, approve the opening of streets in
Square $-5868, in Ward 8, and designate the opened streets as Cypress Street, S.E., Poplar
Street, S.E., Sycamore Drive, S.E., and Oak Drive, S.E.
Council action on an emergency basis is necessary because new residents living adjacent to the
streets cannot receive certain important public services until the streets are added to the public
space and because some of the zoning approvals for buildings located adjacent to the streets
require that the streets be made public before certificatesof occupancy may be issued for the
buildings.
As always, I am available to discuss any questions you may have regarding these bills. To
facilitate a response to any questions, please have your staff contact District Department of
Transportation Director Everett Lott at (202) 671-2317.
Lurge the Council to take prompt and favorable action on the enclosed legislation.
Sincerely,
uri Bowser

MEMORANDUM
TO: Joseph E. Snider, Office of the Surveyor
SUBJECT: REVISED COMMENTS: Proposed OpeningofVarious Streets in Square S-5868 at
St. Elizabeths Hospital, East Campus; (S.O. 22-021486)
DATE: August 4, 2022
Thank you for contacting the DC Historic Preservation Office regarding the above-referenced
proposal to open several streets. Section 9-202.02(4) ofthe DC Code requires the Mayor to refer
applications “to close any street located on the L’Enfant Street Plan” to the Historic Preservation
Review Board (HPRB). We have no comment on the proposed action since it does not involve any
streets located on the L’Enfant Street Plan.
Please note that we sent earlier comments referencing HPRB’s reviewof a proposal to relocate
Building 88, the Blackburn Laboratory, which is a contributing building to the St Elizabeths Historic
District. Those comments were sent in error because we mistakenly thought oneofthe streets to be
opened was adjacent to the historic building but that is not the case. Please disregard the earlier
comments. F
