Rev. Dr. Judy Talbert Way Designation Emergency Declaration Resolution of 2025
This resolution designates a specific segment of Alabama Avenue, S.E. (between Hartford and Gainesville Streets) as "Rev. Dr. Judy Talbert Way" in Washington D.C. It declares an emergency to expedite signage installation before a community celebration honoring Rev. Dr. Judy Talbert, bypassing the standard 30-day congressional review period for the underlying street-naming legislation (Bill 26-280). The resolution allows immediate action to complete the symbolic designation.
