B 26-0626 Legislature · 26th Council Period (2025-2026)

Dr. William Keelan Collins, Sr. Way Designation Act of 2026

This bill symbolically designates the 100 block of 49th Street Northeast in Washington, D.C., as "Dr. William Keelan Collins, Sr. Way" to honor the late dentist, educator, and community leader. The legislation affects only the street name on that specific block, where Dr. Collins once lived, and does not change any physical infrastructure or impose new regulations. By amending the District's street naming records, the bill formally recognizes Dr. Collins's contributions to dentistry, education, and economic development in the Far Northeast community. The change requires approval from the Mayor and a 30-day congressional review period before becoming effective.
