B 26-0437 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Stronghold Way Designation Act of 2025

This bill symbolically renames a specific alley in Ward 5’s Stronghold neighborhood as "Stronghold Way." It directly affects residents and visitors in that area, bounded by North Capitol Street between Michigan Avenue and Bryant Street, adjacent to Glenwood and Prospect Hill Cemeteries. The designation honors the neighborhood’s history as a blue-collar community founded by laborers and public servants in the 1950s-1960s, recognizing its values of solidarity and civic pride. As a ceremonial act, it requires no new funding or policy changes and follows standard D.C. street-naming procedures.
