Gallery Court Designation Act of 2025
This bill designates a specific public alley system in Ward 6 (bounded by 3rd, K, 4th, and I Streets NE) as "Gallery Court." It affects local residents and the developers of nearby townhomes who face this alley, as the name aligns with community input from Advisory Neighborhood Commission 6C. The bill is purely administrative, assigning a name under existing street designation procedures without creating new policies or costs.
