Union Wesley Way Designation Act of 2025

This bill symbolically designates a specific alley behind Union Wesley AME Zion Church (located at 1860 Michigan Avenue, NE) in Ward 5 as "Union Wesley Way." It directly recognizes the church's historical significance and community role through a formal street name, without altering physical infrastructure or imposing new requirements. The designation applies to a defined portion of public alley space in Square 4176, bounded by Queens Chapel Terrace, N.E., Michigan Avenue, N.E., Eastern Avenue, N.E., and Crittenden Street, N.E. This is a ceremonial measure to honor the church's 140-year service to the Queens Chapel neighborhood and the District.
