Restoration of Covenanted Roads and Alleys by the District Government Clarification Amendment Act of 2026

This bill clarifies the District of Columbia government's authority to repair or restore private roads and alleys used for trash collection. It allows the Mayor to enter these private properties to fix them if they are in poor condition and the owner has not agreed to maintain them, provided the owner consents and signs a liability release. The legislation also requires the Mayor to seek liability releases from all impacted property owners before beginning any work. By amending an existing 2024 law, the bill aims to ensure that essential municipal services like waste removal can proceed safely on private land.
