B 25-0825 District of Columbia · 25th Council Period (2023-2024)

Removal of the Highway Plan and Building Restriction Line from Lot 9 in Square 5914 along the West Side of Congress Street, S.E., S.O. 22-01642, Act of 2024

This bill removes a specific section of Congress Street from the official plan for the District of Columbia's permanent highway system. It also eliminates a 15-foot-wide building restriction line on the west side of that street segment located on Lot 9 in Square 5914. These changes allow the land to be used for purposes other than a public roadway and permit construction within the area previously reserved for the street. The legislation applies only to this specific plot and does not alter broader zoning or highway planning rules elsewhere.
