St. Elizabeths East WMATA Redevelopment Act of 2024

This bill authorizes the District of Columbia to swap a 1.29-acre parcel of public land with the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA) in exchange for adjacent land owned by WMATA. The primary goal of this land exchange is to reconfigure the bus loop and Kiss & Ride facilities at the Congress Heights Metrorail Station and to enable the construction of a new public library. The legislation allows the Mayor to dispose of the District's property to WMATA while simultaneously acquiring the transit authority's property, creating a direct land-for-land transaction with no monetary cost. Once approved, the reconfigured site will facilitate better access for the new library from Alabama Avenue SE and support the broader redevelopment of the St. Elizabeths East campus.
