William “Spence” Spencer, IV Way Designation Act of 2026

This bill proposes to officially rename 48th Place, NW, in Ward 3 to "William 'Spence' Spencer, IV Way" to honor his contributions to the local community and his work in international human rights. The legislation directly affects the specific street segment between MacArthur Boulevard and V Street by changing its official designation in city records. It relies on existing street naming laws to symbolically recognize Mr. Spencer's legacy as a resident, former community association leader, and foreign service officer. Once enacted, the change would appear on maps and official documents but involves no new funding or operational changes.
